1921 Ford Model T Kampkar
It is estimated that over 2,000 different accessories could be purchased for Ford cars at the peak of their popularity in the 1920's. The Lamsteed Kampkar body was just one of the products created to tempt the estimated 15-million Ford owners throughout the world. The body was engineered by Samuel Lambert of the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, makers of Listerine Mouth Wash. Lambert loved the outdoors and felt suitable transportation increased the enjoyment.
The dimensions of the body were developed so they would match those of the standard Ford chassis and advertising claimed one could attach the Lamsteed body in just hours.
The 1921 Lamsteed Kampkar could seat six adults, provide sleeping room for four, boasted a folding table, two-burner stove, eight gallon water supply, ample ventilation, plus easy stowage of blankets, clothing and food in several lockers. Also included with the body was a complete camping set containing cooking and eating utensils packed in a small trunk. The Kampkar was a remarkable innovation; its only flaw was that it predated the R.V. craze by about 50 years.
