The Mead, remote dream by Bill

In my dream there was a parking lot I crossed a lot and in one space was always parked a different vintage prototype vehicle that never made it to market but looked really great, usually from the late fifties or early sixties.

One car worth mentioning was from Chevrolet; the Chevy Mead. it was that perfect 1962 stock metallic turquoise color used by Chevy in those years, and it was more than a little sporty - there was a HUGE engine under the hood, you could tell just by it's size and it was designed to be appealing to young men who liked macho cars with stripes and power. But the main thing that was interesting about it was that it contained a full camper in a hatchback design. There was a stove, pantry and full sink and a sleeping area. The only way I could figure out how so many things were in such a small space was that us people were somehow made smaller, to about the size of 3' tall, once we were in 'the magic circle' of the hatchback area, thus making the scale of everything such that the contents of the Mead was larger to us.
it was pretty great.

There were other cars that were parked there from time to time, but the Mead was the coolest of them all. Half-muscle car and half-camper. We all would have loved the Mead.
