Wayne, if it was made in LA in 55, and it is 22 feet, it can only be a Flying Cloud. If it has a Dutchman's cap, I'm pretty sure it is a LA made 55. What is a microcar festival, and how "Micro are these cars?" Bill

I am in Europe right now at a microcar festival) that would mean that it's not a Flying Cloud, rather a Globetrotter, Safari or Caravanner, right? How/what were the differences in the different named versions? How would I tell?
