What's this, who was it built for and when?  for 1 point...

On further inspection this is not a 1920s coach but Will Keith Kellogg's (of breakfast cereal fame) motor home that he named the Ark. It was built 1923-24 on a 27ft truck chassis with bodywork by the Bender Body Co. and was thought to be one of the first true motor homes built in the USA. It was fully equipped with all the necessary items for touring on a grand scale, even having a 15ft fishing boat strapped on the roof.
