Summary:
Used 1961
Location:
Saukville, WI
Description:
These are super rare and I have been told there are 10 known in existence out of the 60 some produced. I just haulded them from Pueble Colorado and the underside is perfect. I have this one only a few hours from running. Full tune up and car rebuilt. Needs exhaust and the plug wires finished (didnt know firing order). This one is cleaned out and ready for some retro styling. I wanted to air bag the suspension and put 20" vintiques on it and tow my other cars to car shows with it. I establised Im 2 years from getting to them so they are tarped for winter behind my shop. Whats a Great Dale House Car?The Great Dale House Car factory built somewhere between 50 and 60 Great Dale House Cars on Parker road in Denver, CO in the 1960s. The founder, Dale Wasinger, appears to be a very unique individual who succeeded in real estate (millionaire?), the used car business, auto body business, Casino Gambling (he wrote a book), and inventing (he invented a way to cut cars in half).He says that he couldn’t use the campers of the 60’s because they were all based on trucks; which made it difficult for him to operate and use. He found a 1961 Cadillac with a crushed rear-end and tried to get another company to make a house car for him, but they were too busy… So he made his own. He followed it up with a 1962 Oldsmobile and created a pattern that all Great Dale House Cars would follow from then on.The finished house cars didn’t weigh much more than the original cars, so no frame modifications were made to cars, like Olds and Caddies, that could take the weight. If he found a good price on a smaller car that had been rear-ended, he would cut it in half with his invention; and then splice it to a truck that had been front ended. “During his four-plus years of production he used Fords, Mercurys, Lincolns, Chryslers, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Buicks, and Cadillacs. It is Wasinger’s opinion that Oldsmobile worked best due to the original cars power-to-weight ratios. No mechanical changes were made to engine, cooling system, transmissions, front end, or brakes on any of the cars — only the frame and rear springs were modified.”I also have a 1966 Buick Skylark Great Dale House Car for sale also. I will list that seperate
