Each task force would have 30 persons, including a driver, 3 club workers, and 2 cooks and they would be equipped with 10 vehicles, 5 clubmobiles, 1 cinemobile, for movies and live music, a staff car and 3 trucks.

The Cinemobile contained a piano, a screen to show movies on, film projector tec. The side of the rear folded down to form a stage.

The regular Clubmobiles, GMC's, have been replicated

and plans are afoot to build a replica Cinemobile on a Dodge WC62 frame here in Europe.

Nice, the little stuff like that is every bit as interesting as the big stuff.
