Research by WBCCI Number?

[66Overlander]

Ken J,
I've got another question for your '59 WBCCI Directory. Does it list an Adam & Helen MacKay? If so, what was their WBCCI # (and other info) if you don't mind passing it along? Thanks.

P.S. If MacKay isn't there, please also try McKay. Thanks.

Hi Joe,

My wife and I are looking at buying our first AS, a 1977 31' Excella She would like to have her Grandfathers WCBBI number, it was either 0396 or 0397, registered to William K Young, Is it available and what do I need to do to purchase it if available? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin

396 or 397 would be low 3 digid numbers usually reserved for at least Region officers. Neither seems to be used in the 2008 Directory however. You might try calling Cindy Reed at Jackson Center and seeing what she can do for you.

Have a great day, Kevin

Would anyone know what this sticker means? Could it be that this trailer went on a caravan? Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Thanks!

This is a Caravan sign.

[1956Safari]

Thats it! Any idea where I can get one? VTS does not seem to have one at this time.

Hopefully someone on the forum will know where to get one. i don't.

Just received and email from Steve at VTS and he will be getting more in at some point. They are stickers and they were originally in red and blue on trailers back in the day.

I am very curious about the caravan history of my Overlander, and I understand that this information might be available in old membership directories. Unfortunately I don't have access to such 'vintage' directories, so I am hopeful that someone here might be able to help me out.

The Overlander's PO was John Peterson from Lake Oswego Oregon, and I believe that he was at one time President of the Oregon Unit. (I'm led to believe this because a Presidential flag from that unit was included with the Overlander when I purchased it.)

The WBCCI numbers on the Overlander at time of purchase were 15638, and I believe that they were long time numbers because some of them were white with age.

I presume from looking at the various paperwork and receipts that came with the trailer that Mr. Peterson would have been an active member at least through 1990.

Thank you in advance for anyone who can help!

Hi Cameron,

From what I can find looking through the directories I have,it looks like the Peterson's were members from 1985-2006 and did belong to the Oregon Unit.
There is only one caravan listed for them which was WBCCI Caravan O-28
Europe,22 countries,Apr/Oct 1987

Mike,

Thank you! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look it up for me.

[artigvic]

Well since we are on this tread i wonder whether some info comes up for WBCCI # 11970

Thanks so much

[streamer23]

I will pm you what I find

[reinergirl]

I've just purchased a 63 International Overlander with a WBCCI number of 1256. I would greatly appreciate any history on the trailer and any information as to whether the number is in current use. Thanks!

[Nuvite-F]

Welcome to the forums!

All I can tell you offhand is that 1256 was in use (by an owner in Texas) as of the 2009 directory, but is not in 2011. (I don't have the 2010 directory handy.) It seems to me that a number has to be unused for 3 years before they will re-issue it.

As I believe you already know, the WBCCI number follows the owners, not the trailer, so the number may or may not be much help in tracing the history of the trailer.

In answer to your inquiry 1256 is in the 2010 directory, Flynt
