Default trailer restoration

not a real Mullins, but the restoration came out good none the less. Put on a 37 handle, 34 pin stripe, 34 17" KH rims, painted by Jesse Cruz of Monterery. This was in the collection of Don Terry several years ago.

34 Ford: is your car and trailer black or a dark blue? Either way that is the ultimate set up,

That is beautiful. I've always wanted a Mullins, to pull behind our '39 CS & '39 LZ. After seeing the job you've done, I'm going to start looking for one again.

Too bad the '37 isn't a slant back.

Pretty sure the pic shows the Milwaukee Road passenger terminal in downtown MPLS and in the very top left of the pic the "GOLD MEDAL FLOUR " sign is still there - last time I noticed anyway . That's washington Ave the 35 coupe is on . If I remember to bring a camera I can get a current pic from that spot as I get there regularly . [ grew up in MPLS so this is familiar turf ] .

Youze iz betta at dis than me !!!! I would guess 4th ave as the main building is not in the pic but the angle is not the best . I'll be in downtown MPLS friday and I will check it out . Dunno if it is still there but I do indeed remember the " Linenkugel's beer sign !!

That Shorpy site will keep you entertained endlessly. There are some wonderful Ford pictures in there, and lots of neat old gas stations and garges...
