I've been considering a paint scheme for Lola, my 53 Westerner. No two pictures on the web show the same design. Curiously, there is an early advertisement with a design that I have not seen actually painted on a trailer.

Below are a couple of pictures of the layout on Lola's 3D model. More information is posted on Lola's Blog:

The BIG W on the front is about the only consistent thing that Westerner did with the paint scheme LOL... I've seen this design on another 53 so it must be correct.

God grant me the strength to restore the trailers I can,
The courage to strip the parts off the ones I can't,
And the wisdom to know the difference...
