I've told this story before... but it's worth repeating. There are always the ones that get away, but still I was grateful to have seen it. This trailer was in Galena Illinois. Our family had gone there for a day vacation, this beauty was going down the road. I shamelessly followed it until it stopped at a local gas station. It was an original that had been stored away for years. It was almost in pristine condition. It had belonged to a family member who had used it only once or twice then stored it away for 40 years. I offered them a few of my children for payment, but they didn't bite. Oh well.... It was great to see it anyway.
Nice one, I have a Shasta too...they are so fun. This one gets lots of use. I love that you followed it down the road! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, what a find. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI loved the part where you offered some of your children as payment, haha. I can see how you would 'have' to follow it. That is one beautiful trailer!
ReplyDeleteWe really need to talk. I'm located in Des Moines, and am a Vintage Shastaholic. I need to send you my email address so we can visit.
ReplyDeleteSo was everything completely original - colouring, bench cushions etc? Great reference, if so :)
ReplyDeleteI now own this beauty.
