Don't know who it is, but my step-dad had one of those trailers in the 60's. The back opened up like a hatchback where the kitchen was. The whole interior was a bed except for a small shelf area. Cool little trailer and the brand was "Sunset" and titled 1949.

Yep, it was a pretty slick setup for sure. Those little campers are just too cool. I don't know what he was running in that Econo but I was doing 65-70 MPH and he motored right on past me! I gave them a wave and got it back from the passenger.

I attended the 2008 F100 SuperNats in Knoxville, spoke with dozens of people displayin' their trucks, also sellin' at the swap meet.

You wanna know how many were aware of FTE? F-O-U-R !!

One was FTE member BarryMc from MS, another works for Green Sales...who once was a sponsor here. Another was Pat Ford who works for DC, and the 4th is the owner of Carolina Classics.

So if the owner of this rig is an FTE member, I would be very surprised.

The trailer looks like a Mullins, first offered in the 1930's. Mullins trailers are now being reproduced.

I thought about it, remembered two others, so the count is now four...still pathetic any way you slice it

I have cards I pass out to people who collect Winchesters, it has my name, phone number and my WACA life membership number printed on it, the middle section of the card is blank.

After I returned from NC (I flew in/out of Charlotte), I had a rubber stamp made with FTE's website. Now when I attend car/truck shows & swap meets, I pass out these cards to FoMoCo fans.

I spoke with IB Adrian at the 2009 Western Nats, asked him why FTE doesn't have any business cards available for members.

I said: "You offer a free T shirt to supporters, but who the hell cares about a T-shirt?' 'There are a gazillion different T-shirts, most people glance at them...and that's about it."

Stickers are cool. Might actually create more excitement and bring people to the site.

I am more involved on the Bloodydecks.com Website (fishing) they have the stickers that we put on our cars and boats letting others know who is a brotha. If you see one the salute is given.

2 years ago there was auction of 800 vehicles at this farmers place. He had a 61 Comet 2 dr wagon. The local chapter guys could not understand why I was saying someone get that car. It sold for $150. THe guy that bought it turned and flipped for $3500. I told the guys there were less than 3000 of the 2dr Comet wagons made, making them very rare, more so than the Falcon.
Sadly over half of this farmers collection were bought buy scrap metal guys and they got crushed.
At the time gas went up 50cent here and lots of potential buyers stayed home due to gas prices at the time.
One of the fella did go and got two trucks for $350.00 for both. He sold one and started work on the other.
I wish I went. I could of got the 2 E vans for $100. They are now squashed.
