The search is on for a used "Bat-wing" tv antenna, or something
that will mount on the roof where the old one used to be that's not
there anymore, any ideas? anybody got one laying around the garage that
your not using? thanks for the input...

I have an original crank-up antenna (think it was called Skyliner?) that I
took off of my '75 Sovereign. It works, I just replaced it with a satellite
dish.
You can have it for the packing/shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

Subject: Flying Cloud model at Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn catalog that came this week shows a cast metal model of a
Flying Cloud, 12.5" x 4.5" x 4"h. Looks pretty nice (don't about
accuracy of details though), $49. Their site is www.potterybarn.com and
the item # is 14-4284998.

Hi Rob, I received one of those and was disappointed with it, so I sent it
back to Pottery Barn. I've seen much more accurate model work. GAS

Almost what I'm looking for, but not exactly. I mean the model at
Pottery Barn. Anybody know where a guy can get a nice model for his den.
It can be metal or plastic, so long as it looks good.
Thanks,

Hello,
The nicest one that I have seen is from Franklin Mint, this is a 1968
Sovereign. They are often available on Ebay but I've seen the prices get
as high as $500+ for them, too rich for my blood even if it is the same
year of the trailer I own! I also have the Pottery Barn model; it's not
so bad and considering my brother bought it for my birthday I can't
complain. If I was going to pay the big $$$$$ for something nice I'd go
the Franklin Mint route.

Subject: tow vehicle
A couple of days ago, I spotted a tow vehicle sitting alongside the road
for sale. I called the number on the sign and found out the following:
1994 Dodge Ram 2500, 8' bed, standard cab, 4X4
Cummins Turbo Diesel engine
Auto trans
Chrome wheels, tires look OK
Dark green & gray color with matching fiberglass cap
Running boards/flares, fiberglass, matching paint
Snow plow included (he said it hasn't plowed much snow)
Tow package, has receiver and electrical plug
Get this: 46,700 miles (!)
Asking $12,500.00
Phone number is 734-847-6729, location is about 1 mile north of the Ohio
line at Toledo, Smith Rd. betweeen Lewis Ave and Telegraph Rd.
FWIW: Kelly Blue book prices it at $12,600.00 for private sale,
$15,500.00 average dealer retail.
I know nothing more about the truck, would be willing to look at it with
a potential buyer if you want. (I have a 4X2 1994 Dodge, CTD myself)

She got it off the internet somewhere. I ask her last night and she
couldn't remember the actual site where she bought it.
I just did some internet searching and found most places selling them are
either in the UK or Canada. Here is a USA site:
http://www.azautozone.com/Auto%20Zone/brooklin.html . I can't vouch for
them, but I would give them a try.
There are non on E-bay right now.
Good luck

Subject: WBCCI Survey
I just received a survey from the WBCCI, as a "new member", meaning more
than one year but less than four.
The survey solicits information on what the member likes/dislikes about the
organization and asks for ways to improve, and to make the organization more
attractive to younger people.
I'm 66, so had to respond as a senior, but I recall some of the comments
earlier on the List about having weekend rallies, etc. I really only had
two suggestions: (1) reduce the cost, since I don't see any value for the
money I pay each year, and (2) institute the weekend rally concept so those
folks who are not retired can join in the events.
I also stated bluntly that I only joined the WBCCI because I had to in order
to enjoy the friendship and fun of the VAC.
If you get the survey, please do take the time to complete it and let the
WBCCI know exactly how you feel.

I did a google search with the terms: diecast airstream.
I came up lots of hits, some for the wanderer with prices at $79.95 and
$89.95 As well as the Franklin mint price of $593. Google will repeat
the search for you.
