    Greetings All,

    Glad I found you. I have always loved old cars and currently have a 71 Chevelle. Fun story behind this car. I bought it from a couple who were members of I believe an Elk's club. This car was being raffled and so they bought a $1 raffle ticket and headed off on vacation. When they came back it was sitting in their driveway with a not that said "Congratulations, you won!". Can you imagine? Unfortunately, I paid a lot more than $1 for it when I bought it ;)

    I also am interested (OK, maybe a little obsessed) with vintage trailers. I have 2 currently. The first is a 61 Shasta Compact and the other is a 55 Bellwood. The Bellwood is the most recent one we've purchased. It lived it's life in AZ and is in excellent, original condition. Notice the 1955 Ford bumper? That of course was not original. I think it's pretty cool though!

    And our other little one, the 61 Shasta Compact.

    OK, thank you. Sorry I didn't realize it was 64 or earlier. I will just be silent and admire.

    Thank you! Eventually I would love to find a late 50's/early 60's pickup to use as a tow vehicle for the trailers. So I'll hang around if that's ok and be inspired by the rest of you all that own the older rigs.
