Cadillac Star Streak Motorhome 1971 by Autocult

A few Sizes bigger!

The United States of America is known to be a very large country and if you want to explore it intensively on your own four wheels, you need quite a long period of time. For US citizens, this is – at least in stages – a much-loved way to spend their holidays.   In the 1970s, former US soldier Paul Jones from Cape Coral in Florida dreamed of exploring the USA extensively in a motorhome and the plan matured in him to put his own suitable vehicle on wheels. He chose the chassis of an Oldsmobile Tornado as the base. It was sufficiently motorized for its new purpose with 350 US horsepower.   When planning the structure, Paul Jones was guided by only one desire – to transfer as much luxury as possible from his house to his mobile accommodation.   In 1971, the ex-soldier built an aluminum frame, clad it with more aluminum panels and thus created a box structure that tended to have an angular box structure that also had almost no curves on the inside. This made it easier for him to adapt the finished interior. The urge for a high level of comfort was not only expressed in a – for the size of the vehicle – relatively large kitchenette with cold and hot water, a refrigerator, hotplates and two sinks. In the lounge area, the seating area served as a fold-out bed for him and his wife at night. Ther was also room for a small bathroom in the car and he even installed a shower. TV and radio programs could be received throughout the country via antennas. Paul Jones named his car ‘Star Streak I’ and reeled off over 100,000 miles – the equivalent of almost 161,000 kilometers – on the speedometer at the end of its journey.
