Well, according to the Rosetta Stone of handwritten production records
from the late '50s (thanks Charlie), it started life as a 1956 22'
Caravanner made in Ohio. Most likely it was a custom from the
beginning, as I have seen Flying Clouds that had that plate - and had
slightly different window layouts and interior layouts.
Check out these for some ideas:
Here's a Custom Flying Cloud with a unique window and interior:

Here's a '56 Caravanner:

Take some interior & exterior shots - as you can see, my archives should
could use some nice clean images.
