Poolmobiles exist!

I was going through a 70’s playground equipment catalog (more on that later) and was amazed to discover this, the “Swim Mobile” a portable pool that you drove into places and events to provide comfort on a hot day. I always thought it was just something imagined by the writers of the Simpsons.The “Swim Mobile” is much nicer than it’s companion piece The “Boxing Mobile” which is a portable pugilism display system.

    I was in a poolmobile in Detroit in the late 60’s. As I recall, it was a hell of a lot of fun.
