It all started innocently enough....a casual glance at an ad on a yard sale site (http://www.biloxiyardsales.com/ ~shameless plug to Connie!) and a passing "Honey, isn't this cute?" and the reply of "Well we could swing that. Let's go take a look at it tomorrow."
Of course I didn't think to much of it since you never know what kind of shape it is in or how big or in this case how very small......or how very cute it is.
Well a quick trip out to the country turned into an excursion since I had no idea that there was a Mardi Gras parade going on in the county area! Who knew? Well after we waited for traffic to clear up we were back on our way and tucked away on a little country road was this little gem and I have to say it was love at first site for both of us. We played it off with the owner of course, gave it the once over and negotiated the price. One tire was low so we went back today to pick it up.
It pulls like a dream the tires and the axle are both in good shape. One rear brake light needs replaced but the lens are all in good shape. the electrical inside has been updated to breakers from the old style fuse box (thank you previous owner). One of the bed lamps isn't working and that will be a future project for us. but the stove and fridge are both in good shape. The fridge isn't original as it had a propane but now has a nice little electric one.
So today we brought it home and cleaned the inside. I will post those pictures tomorrow but for today here are the pictures that first caught my eye.
