Not quite a teardrop

I passed one of these on the way to work today being towed down Rt 80, about 10 miles from NY City.

A friend of mine here in Little Rock bought one a month ago to restore. First time I had ever seen one.

I pass by one every day on my way to work. It is at a used car dealer. When I stopped by about 6 months ago the owner said he was going to restore it. Nothing's been done so far. Maybe I need to make an offer on it.

Yep, Pismo Beach is next weekend (May 17-20). Although there will be some of us coming in Wednesday. I'll have the Field and Stream and the KIT that I rebuilt will also be there. If you have never been there, it's a Vintage Trailer Rally you shouldn't miss. There will be upward of 300 Vintage Trailers there this year and most will be show quality. :thumbsup:

Just an example of what will be there.

Oh, that's my Dalton, it won't be there this year. It lost the coin toss. ;)

also you can not drive in to see them you must park outside, we park near the town and walk over the creek. Some of the ones from last year are on my gallery mostly inside shots which are really great.
