There was a couple at the Palo Alto Concours de Elegance at Stanford last weekend that had a Spartanette 31, with single door and different kitchen layout.. Can't remember their names, but they were also active in wooden boat restoration, and you may find them via Palo Alto Concours website... (www.paconcours.com) or via the Yahoo Vintage Trailer Group for CA, that organizs the group that brings old trailers to Stanford every year.. See: Vintage_Trailers_Network_California : CLASSIC TRAVEL TRAILERS

My daughter and I camped out last night then I had it out front today swapping on the new tires and wheels (Too bad you can barely see them.. Ha.) and working on studs, brakes, etc. Nice day, so had to snap a few pics before she went back in her parking spot. I got an email today from a man who thinks he has original glass tail lights! I was about ready to give up.
Happy sunny September Sunday!

From fellow Spartanette lovers, congrats on your 'baby'. You saved another beautiful relic from the past, and if only they could talk to us. Beautiful job!!! Couldn't resist including the link to photos of our 'baby': (hope it works)

You are LUCKY,LUCKY,LUCKY !
The interior reminds me of the movie" The Long, Long Trailer". Looks like Lucy's kitchen, bedroom and living space. I'll have to break out that old movie to see. Unbelivable find ! Your doing a beautiful job.
