Full-Length Sleeping Cot Rests on Top of Automobile Seats, 1954

In 1954, the traveler could install a relief bunk in his car – an aluminum cot that extends above the seats from front to rear. While one person drives the other can sleep in full-length comfort.


Made of lightweight tubing, the cot was supported by legs resting above the instrument panel, on top of the two seats, and on the rear-window ledge. It was quickly removed or installed and could be folded for storage. When folded, it was easily packed into place along with any reasonable amount of luggage. The bed could be adjusted for use as a regular cot.
