The six-cylinder under the hood of this 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon-teardrop trailer combination for sale on Hemmings.com might be seen by some as a negative. But considering the intended purpose of such a combination - to travel the country and see all that it has to offer - we rather see it as a positive. After all, why not slow down and take your time a cross-country road trip? From the seller's description:

A 1962 Mercury Comet Station Wagon in excellent condition. But theres more! It also comes with a matching and "very cool" wood & stainless steel 1949 Tear Drop trailer that sleeps two.

Factory paint color Sea Blue, chrome and trim are excellent. Interior is black and white vinyl and in like-new condition. Wagon is a 6 cylinder 144ci with a 3 speed manual transmission on the tree, Power window on the tailgate. Odometer reads 26xxx miles. We can not verify the mileage as actual but based on the condition of every inch of this car, we believe that the mileage is accurate. A recent trophy winner - you won't be disappointed!

The engine runs perfectly in all respects. Overall, the car is impressive. The Tear Drop trailers frame and wheel covers were customized to match the exterior of the car. They look like they were made for each other but they obviously were not.

The Tear Drop has its own battery to power the interior. The exterior has its own compartment where hand made wood cabinets can be used for storage and a table top can hold anything from a portable cooktop, microwave or whatever you had in mind.

    AM General Dispatcher (Jeep DJ-5) (2024)

    Long before hulking Humvees and Hummers, AM General was known for shortened, two-wheel-drive, right-hand-steer Dispatchers (or Jeep DJs) with sliding doors and a hinged hatch. The series was produced by Willys and the renamed Kaiser Jeep from 1955 to 1970, when American Motors Corporation took over. Thus were most 1970-84 models equipped with I-4 and I-6 AMC engines in displacements up to 258 c.i. Chevy, Pontiac and Audi-VW four-bangers also appeared, along with electric motors in about 350 battery-powered AMC Electrucks intended for high-pollution destinations starting in 1974.

    By 1977, the AM General division accounted for fully 82 percent of AMC's annual profits. Nonetheless, the failing parent sold AMG in 1982 to prop up its civilian Jeep and money-losing automobile lines, all of which were also gone by 1987.

    I truly adore Ferrari’s 330 GT 2+2 Series II. These magnificent cars perfectly symbolize the sophistication of automobiles in the 1960s. So swinging!

    In 1964 the 330 GT 2+2 was unveiled at Ferrari’s annual press conference. Enzo Ferrari had come out of left-field: he was introducing the commuter’s Ferrari, a car that you could take on those supermarket and school runs, but which was fun-packed (152 mph top speed) when you were getting out on the right sort of road.
