Hello all,
I just picked up two older trailers (free) and started getting interested in restoring them. At first my thought was to tear them down to the frame and then build small teardrop-styles on them, but now I'm liking the bigger space
One of them I'm pretty convinced is a '57 Deville (vin starts with DV57xxx, and videos/pics on web seem right). The other one I have no idea... VIN is on the pass side tongue rail, and starts with 58... It has a very cool 'wave' -type paint scheme, which I have not been able to find on the web. It's pretty trashed, so I'm tearing it all down, trying to save anything possibly worth reusing. The Deville (if that's what it is) is trashed also, but intact including the oven/stove, sink, and icebox. Figured I'd 'learn' on the really bad one before taking on the Deville.
Anyways, glad I found this forum, and I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions
BTW, I'm in CA
Tom
