Welcome to the honeymoon suite – the log cabin COE

log cabin COE (detail)

I’ve been meaning for a while to highlight the extensive cab-over engine trucks thread on the H.A.M.B. – most flavors and styles of COEs are represented, from stock grain trucks to lowered hot rod haulers. One of the most unique COEs on there was recently posted by Josh Madsen, who said he spotted this Dodge COE with a log cabin bolted to the back in front of Mountain Ridge Motel and RV in Hatch, Utah (see it on Google Maps here), which Josh figured was set up as another hotel room. I’d stay in it!

As for the year of the truck, Dodge built cab-overs in this bodystyle from 1940 to 1947 (excepting the war years of 1943-1945). The holes in the cowl suggest it was once equipped with parking lamps, which were introduced in 1941. I called up the motel, and they informed me first that it’s a ‘47, second that it runs and drives and was recently inspected, and third that it doesn’t serve as an actual room to rent at the hotel.

Though, funny enough, it did originate in a little town called Beaver, Utah.
