Clubmobile photos and dimensions? (Especially interior!)

[jakemckee]

Hello! I'm a scale modeler working on a 1/35 scale GMC Clubmobile diorama. I'm designing the Clubmobile "box" in CAD and trying to make it pretty accurate to the historical vehicle. Couple things I'm looking for and could use y'alls help.

I'm trying to find documentation/drawings/specs for the specific dimensions of the Clubmobile conversion. I've done hours of googling and haven't found just a ton of photos. I'm relying on some photos of a restored vehicle in Europe, but would love to find more high quality historical or modern photos... or even connect with owners of the restored Clubmobiles.

I'm also having a near impossible time finding details and photos about the interior. Anyone have any pointers for where to look to figure out the historical interiors? The restored vehicle doesn't seem to have a period accurate interior, but I may be wrong.

Any help tracking down data would be much appreciated!

Hello, for a a Dutch WW2 Museum (Wing of Liberation Best) i am (re)building a GMC ARC Clubmobile. A 1941 CCKWX hardtop is the base from where i started the conversion. In my seach i found some original foto and other foto's of a interieur. Good luck with the build.

Thank you! Those are great! I’d love to see as many photos as you can share of the entire vehicle. Every detail matters!

Any idea how accurate these are? Dimensions and design seem spot on. But were the walls wood color? Are the wood colors accurate?

Can you share pics of the flooring?

Thanks!
Jake

A Bonus for you Jake. In the Gettysburg museum (USA) you can see a GMC ARC Clubmobile and measure it from that replica. I found some pictures of that Clubmobile.

Thanks for sharing! I didn't even know that that museum had one! It's wildly inaccurate in many small and larger ways, but very cool!

@DarthTiger- I've learned quite a few things about the layout and whatnot so happy to share if it's helpful to your build.
