I think this is as an original 1947 Modernistic as you will find, and should be good for another 64 years. 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,
