RARE Land Cruiser Emblem? Anyone Know

[GiGs707]

I saw this post on eBay and I can't figure out for the life of me what year LC this came from... if it even came from one at all. Do you think it's a rare Emblem?

Never seen that before, may not be Toyota, did any other manufacturer have a model called a Land Cruiser?

Checked out Studebaker Emblems and it's not of any of them.

He retitled it to Travel Trailer. Never heard of one.

Travel trailer sounds like a caravan

That Bedford doesn't have the badge posted though, does anyone know the green vehicle next to it?

As a family, we had one converted to a camper, British made in 1947 if that's a clue... answers on a postcard..... or just a post if it doesn't qualify as a hijack.....

In 1954 Chris-Craft, of wooden speedboat fame made a travel trailer (UK translation: caravan) called a Land Cruiser. They only made it for one year and then went back to the boats. Image attached:-



There are not many images on the net so I can't confirm if the emblem was off one of these. The 20th Century saw a proliferation of Travel Trailer/ RV/ Motorhome manufacturers come and go in the US, some only making one-offs so it would be difficult to pin down. Here's a link to waste half an hour on:-

I hate to admit defeat but I think the yanks get the best "men in sheds" award for these creations!

The emblem looks cool so my advice, buy the emblem and hang it in your shed (translation: 10-car garage)

Re-reading my post I wasn't very clear... (I was up early this morning for another flight, posting in the airport has become a recent pastime ). I was referring to the green vehicle in Chas' picture at post #9...



Here's the full photo...



But I wouldn't want to detract from the thread, it certainly isn't a Land Cruiser in any shape or form!
