Hey Joe Campbell. I agree with Scott Scheuermann, there is NO Park model and there never ever was a Park model. Further, ......I hate to break your bubble, but I think your Overlander is a 1955,not a 1956. According to the Official 1959 report, your Overlander,... serial # 07094 was made in Ohio in 1955, it weighs 3150 lbs dry and sugg retail new price $3995. To further clarify the difference between 1955 and 1956 follows: 1955 Overlander 26 feet Ser# 0-7001 up 1956 Overlander 26 feet Ser# 0-7116 up 1957 Overlander 26 feet Ser # 0-7200 up Yours was probably made in late 55, then sold in 56, and registered as a 56. But, according to the above report, your Overlander is a 1955 model. Do you remember the joke about the produce man and "Having no more Bananas?" You know, "We have no Bananas", There are no Bananas. We got NO Bananas. " There Ain't NO Bananas". The same is true about the Park Model. "There Ain't NO Park Model." Bill Scott, not to be confused with Scott Scheurmann.
