I saw this picture in this month's RV business Magazine and was very proud.
I personally have about 100 hours of labor into this motorhome when I helped restore it for Bill Campbell, the previous owner. Bill was one of the owners of the Hurst Corporation (shifters) and the inventor of the Jaws Of Life. A wonderful man to know and work for.

I helped fill many of the body imperfections with lead and I left the company before the project was completed in Penna.
It was great to see the end result. The coach is on display in the RV Hall Of Fame in Indiana.

that's quite a vehicle. I can imagine you would be proud to have taken part in such a beautiful restoration project.

I need to get out to Indiana and see that museum. From their web-site and from what I have heard, it is quite something.
I am heading down to the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles today to see the RV exibit they have there.

That is really neat Steve.
It looks like it had split ring wheels on front and one piece wheels on back and spare. Is that correct?

I love the old house cars-tell me, is this Pierce considered a full classic by CCCA? They seem to allow all PA's after 1925, is that right?
