I'm on Cloud 55

BarryIowa · 06-12-2009, 09:38 AM

I just purchased my new baby - a 1955 Flying Cloud whale tail. I'm posting some pictures that are of it as found. It had been locked up with no key for over 10 years. You'll notice a box of Alpha Bits cereal on the counter and sheets on the bed. This was an amazing find. There is none of that floor rot, wet smell. All of the vents are intact and not leaking and it is in amazing original condition. Having said that, it will still need a lot of attention. I do not know if any of the systems work. Enjoy this tale as it unfolds

What a gift. Did you buy a lotto ticket too?

Thanks Lee. Lightning seldom hits twice! Maybe a trip to the casino is in order.

Looks like a beautiful find. I'll look forward to seeing this trailer brought back to camping life very soon.

You are a lucky guy......grew up camping in a 59' just like this one! It's a great layout. Have fun!

Barry, congratulations on the new 55.. she is a beauty. I am sure Brad will be able to give you some good pointers on this one.. I witnessed him getting very intimate with a FC in ABQ

Thanks Louis - I know he'll be a big help! He's nearly as excited about this one as I am!
