As I travel north, I had to leave the interstate to travel some two laners to connect with the area I was passing through. Sure glad I did as it gave me a chance to meet this character I will call Richard. He has been collecting forever and he is a most interesting individual.
Around his property is a shoe tree, a credit card tree, a jetski way up in a tree, as well as a variety of catch your eye things such as this airplane and the front of a car mounted up on his barn and at night its headlights turn on - I told you he was an interesting character!
I am only showing a few pics. but by way of description, The Airsteam is a 1967 17 foot Clipper with the original awning and interior. Very nice shape, these little guys are very collectible today.
The lil station wagon under the tarp is a 1948 Crosley, made in Ohio. Cuter than a bug, it has a 44cc motor kicking out a whopping 26 horsepower. As a side note, Jay Leno has one of these but it is 450 HP, if this kind of excess appeals to you, you can see it at;
The final picture is a 1970 Suburu pickup which is got to be the smallest truck ever made. Look at the tires leaning against it for size comparison. It is a ramp side, and I believe kinda rare. All this is for sale, but Richard wasn't born yesterday. I may go buy one of these from him sometime, but more important was the chance to spend a few hours with him today on his birthday! Happy Birthday Richard and thanks for the interesting travel break!
