When I first
found it on eBay
I didn’t know
that I had found
a jewel... we
found out it was
one of the first
Winnebagos
ever built!
We also installed 1969 Cadillac seats
inside along with an air-conditioner and
electric windows, just to name a few of
the things we did. As I said earlier we
wanted custom and I built the Chevy as
custom as I could with the original paint
scheme, and likewise we wanted the
trailer kept as authentic as possible but
with the custom paint job to match our
car. The plates on the car are: 4EVRWES.
Whenever this classic combo hits the
road Ken says they feel like celebrities
with all of the attention they get.
“We stop traffic everywhere! People will
actually stop us because they want to
take pictures and ask us questions.
Once when we were coming back from
Newport Dunes last year, there were
pictures posted to Facebook by people
we didn’t even know, that however the
information highway works, got back to
us when we got home!
We love seeing what the trailer does for
so many people. Their eyes light up when
they tell us their stories about camping
trips and adventures they had with their
families growing up.
When we pulled out from the Pismo
Vintage Trailer Rally we were following
a couple of other vintage trailers. We
had three rigs altogether in our group
and were following a 40-foot trailer
loaded with show trailers on top, and a
couple of other setups, so there were
about seven rigs in a convoy. We virtually
stopped traffic on Highway 101! People
were driving by us slowly honking giving
us the thumbs up and taking pictures. I
was in the lead and when I looked back
traffic was snarled for a mile back, it was
hilarious!”
