Jolene - do you have pictures of it? We'll be in Hastings, Minnesota in July to attend a car show (Nash Metropolitan).
I REALLY want to keep our Benroy. We had contacted Bennet about it and he called and we had a lovely conversation. It was very cool. We've found though that we're so busy with the car hobby in the summer that we're restricted on when we can get out in the tear. We have roasted in the summer in it, which isn't fun. We don't want to modify it though cause it's so original. So, I am reluctantly agreeing with my hubby to move on to something else.
We wouldn't mind restoring if it's not too bad. We're both novices when it comes to this stuff. The cars are relatively easy mechanically. My husband is going to start tearing apart my Met this fall though and I'm afraid if he has a couple of projects my car won't be done by spring. Since I drive it almost every day I can't have that!
Feel free to pass my info along to anyone you know who is looking for original. The problem is we're in Michigan. I know we'd find something in a heartbeat if we were out west. Here we're in the rust zone ... makes things more difficult.
We want a trailer that is still in the tear or canned ham style I think. We like the curves rather than the squared off look of some of the trailers. We looked at quite a few trailers at the Tin Can Tourists gathering in May, but there weren't a lot in the style we're thinking. That Dalton you have Gage is very cool. Much more along the lines of what we were thinking. A larger tear might even work, but again, we like vintage and don't have the time (or space .. or tools .. or knowledge) to build it ourselves.
We tow the trailer locally with our Met. Obviously this doesn't work long-distances. Right now we have a hitch on the truck, but could throw one on the minivan if need be. The kids could always sleep in the back of the van ...
