The driver’s seat remains unencumbered; the rest of the car is filled with equipment and machinery. In the middle of the car is a hydraulic piston, attached to which are stackable beds-&-seat units; a hydraulic pump is stored in the trunk. The shell of the car is separated and lifted, hydraulically, up off its floor. The shell functions as the roof of a four-story hotel. Each floor consists of a bed, made out of rubber for outdoor use; each bed is formed into a pillow at the head and a seat at the foot; next to each seat is a television, directed toward the floor below. A chain ladder rolls up off a spool at the floor of the car, allowing access to the stories above. The car is driven through the city, from place to place, from neighborhood to neighborhood, providing a mobile hotel unit whenever is needed, whenever, is wanted. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/car_hotel/index.html">Car Hotel</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1995/index.html">1995</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible/index.html">Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Car%20Hotel/index.html">Car Hotel</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Expanding-Contracting/index.html">Expanding-Contracting</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Hotels/index.html">Hotels</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Japan/index.html">Japan</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Luis%20Vera/index.html">Luis Vera</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Portables-Vehicles/index.html">Portables-Vehicles</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Shelters/index.html">Shelters</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Shift-Pivot/index.html">Shift-Pivot</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Telescoping/index.html">Telescoping</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transportation/index.html">Transportation</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Unbuilt/index.html">Unbuilt</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/315/03_MS.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/315/03_MS.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/315/03_MS.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
