1947 Modernistic – Fully Restored in 2009 - $4,200

Teardrop was completely disassembled
Frame was sandblasted and repainted
Structure angle was removed, cleaned, treated, repainted and re-riveted
All new stainless steel screws throughout
All original aluminum skins - with a few hail dings on roof
Original Windows
Original Handles
Original Fenders, but they do have some patches as you can see in the pictures
Door and Galley Hatch were completely disassembled and re-framed inside with new wood
Propane tank is dated 1948 - recertified, new fill valve and filled in 2009
Ice box in galley is used for storage, but have original ice tray with water drain
1947 Ford Hubcaps
New plywood floor
New galley hatch hinge
New LED tail and side lights
New sliding plywood doors in galley
New wheel bearings - with extra set

Dimensions - 4'x10' - with tongue 4'x12' 4"
Bed area is 4'x7' - current mattress is just over 6'
Total weight as shown – 580 lbs

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.
