GM called these A-Scale which was 1"= 8", or 1/8 scale. This Clay Model was one of the first renderings of the future GMC Motorhome. Check out the other renderings on the board behind the model. A full size front-end view can be seen on the back wall.

Chelsea, Mich.: General Motors is bringing out a Motorhome (it's in prototype as of now, not to be revealed to anyone before a press conference set still some weeks ahead of this writing.) But Dodge has announced that it will NOT produce either a Motorhome or a camper body. Announcement came from George F. Butts, general sales manager of Dodge Trucks, who told a Dodge dealer advisory committee that "the role of Dodge Truck in the RV market is to produce the best Motorhome chassis, vans and pickup trucks available." The company will extend RV service; they've established an RV branch of their truck service department, will have close to 300 service centers around the country by the end of the year, have also begun operating a fleet of mobile RV service vans.
