"Peanuts,
popcorn, only a nickel!" Gramps never saw this Popcorn Wagon. Only
Carl Casper could visualize and build a Popcorn Wagon as unbelievable
as this one. The body is walnut, and brass is the word for the rest
of the trim used on the Popcorn Wagon. The radiator and lights are
brass, and cast brass scrollwork is used to retain the vintage theme.
The Popcorn Wagon comes complete with a vent on top for heat dissipation
from the popcorn and peanut roaster. Casper did the paint and the
red velvet upholstery work. The canopy is of Naugahyde velvet.
This
beautiful machine is supported by a chrome-plated box tube frame,
and up front there is a tube axle, leaf spring combination. The Popcorn
Wagon is drawn by 427-inch Ford running an Isky 505 magnum cam, Cragar
blower drive, and stacked GMC blowers. Power is delivered to the Cragar
wheels and Goodyear rubber by means of a Ford C-6 transmission and
a '67 vette rear end. And to know what's happening with all the running
gear, full instrumentation courtesy of Stewart-Warner. The chrome
work is valued at $4,000! From that figure alone, you know it will
take a lot of nickel bags of popcorn to pay for Carl Casper's latest
Ð The Popcorn Wagon.
