| A 28 Ambassador's in our driveway
...Yea Ha...we just coaxed a 78 Ambassador to come live with us, it's fourth set of caretakers!
We just love it! The exterior is 'cherry' with no road rash to be seen. The interior's almost as good, especially for a 30 year old rig!
We've got all the manuals, notes from the original owner, etc...enought to keep me busy looking at for the next week! The 1st owner's even left their two caravan beret's neatly packed away inside.
We've been playing some of our old 8-tracks in our 'new' rig's 'like new' stereo...sounds just great for an old gal...
She was built with all the right stuff, Alum Mag wheels, electric brakes, Stereo, etc. We even received a complete WD hitch assembly.
I towed her home about 60 miles today with our 89 Bronco that's been re-geared, and she towed like a dream! After dialing in the Brake Controller, she even stopped on a dime, with 2 cents change!
We'd like to find a nice Excursion V10 for our ultimate TV, and we'd be roadin' in style!
We've been draeing up our list of things to add, couple of super fans, and maybe a new vinyl/woodgrain floor, some LED marker lights and Stop/Tail lights, and probably a new AC unit...OH yeah, and a flat panel TV and an XMRadio...I think we'll keep the 8-Track just for effect!
Now if I can just figure out how to clean out the dual pane windows - the vista's have lots of UV film bits floating around, and the larger windows have a bunch of bubbles in the Shade Film...looks like a large project...anyone fixed their's?
It's great to be aboard with our new family member! See you on the road!
