No electrical system is installed – 12volt or 120 volt – we used led lights. It could easily be added, but we wanted to keep it original.
No propane line has been ran from the propane tank to the galley

I think this is as an original 1947 Modernistic as you will find. Those not familiar with the Modernistic they were built from 1946-1948. They are all aluminum... walls and roof. This is a Cub which was sold as a kit and is put together with screws.

Clear title, and current State of TN registration.

Located in Smyrna, TN, just outside of Nashville.

PM or email me if interested,
Mark

Well Wayne, I might give that try in a few weeks. She's tucked away under the shed and doesn't need to be fed, so she's okay for now.... :lol:

We'd really like to find a new home for the little gal...
I can grow a Santa beard and bring it up to Fish Creek for you when we come up in June.... :thinking: ... and, you wouldn't have to work on this one.
