Glenwood Springs, CO (PRWEB) 14 February 2012
A true classic car buff, Richard Nash never thought it would be caravans at the time in 1960 to restore. His wife, Vicky won the first trailer for Year 2005 and so began the obsession. Four followers found their way to the aisle Nash. The Shasta 1962 completely rebuilt Airflyte is the jewel of the collection.
If it is not bought for $ 100 through Nashes, 13 feet out Shasta’s was in 1962 sure to be the local dump. A flat tire, broken Jack, dilapidated interior, split seams, roof leaks, siding were damaged some of the issues to be addressed. But with visionaries they are, this pair could see the true potential of Colorado. A personalized architect by profession, Richard knows the building. Thus began the demolition and every inch was removed on the frame. The original parts were used as template for each piece carefully rebuilt near the ground. Much of the trim, hardware and glass was recovered and reused. A beautiful wood-ash, with about 5 liters of amber shellac coating was used for interior walls, ceilings and cabinets. Shiny new aluminum cut to the exact size panels adorn the roof and sides. The original coveted silver wings fly proudly on their backs.
Vicky served as creative director, choosing the color red, black, white and black. A trip to the paint shop was the famous Z-pattern on the outside. A dinner theme runs through the interior. Cool retro-looking material was selected for the cushions and curtains vote. Formica counters and tables have a model that the boomerang floors checkered black and white added.
9 months (and $ 10,000 in materials) completed later in 1962 made his debut. Reminiscent of a stick of peppermint, it was called Candy. Candy has made numerous appearances on a variety of performances of classic cars and vintage caravan rallies in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. Sometimes it is accompanied by classic cars like a 1968 Ford Mustang. A real show-stopper, Candy won the Ladies Choice and Peoples Choice, as the price in the respective years in the salon of the Grand River Classic Car in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. She was also photographed on the front page of The Times Independent Moab.
To complete all, Richard a 1961 Ford Galaxy Sunliner convertible is he pulling a camper of the year. This restoration included a complete overhaul of engine and transmission, brakes, shock absorbers, black and white upholstery, fresh chrome, a new hood, a paint color to match Ford Candy Apple Red, a new clutch and brake control with E.
If we go with the Shasta 1962, people smile and give us the thumbs up signal all the time. Everyone wants to know what year it is and how it looks inside, says Richard.
This hobby began when Vicky read a magazine article on the Sisters on the fly, a group of women who travel across the country and painted in the old trailer with colorful murals. I thought it looked like so much fun. And I have not even made! -Vicky calls. So they began looking for a trailer and found a 1970 Shasta trailer hunting camouflage with curtains for sale in Denver. Fortunately, Richard was a good sport and decided to help to repair it. Although there was some hail damage to the top and back, the trailer was in good condition. He underwent a cosmetic makeover. As he walked down the street, it was a great success. Thus, the Nashes were hung up. However, their preference was the rounded canned ham style trailer, so they sold the 1970 version and began hunting box for an older model.
Since late 1962, a Shasta in 1961 joined the fleet. Richard was going on a project, start to build a new house, then a local office. As luck would have it, he fell on a 16 foot Shasta (without wings) for sale. So with a fresh coat of black and white color, the trailer has been upgraded with a desktop computer and drawing table with cupboards, refrigerator and microwave.
It is true that if people were fond of vintage trailers are, they can never own. Somehow a 1968 Serro Scotty has made its way to Nash’s residence. You think of turning in a shed for garden tools in the yard. Or maybe it could be an order of the custom to sell to another junkie trailer.
