This & That from Here & There

[Guest]

MAN! I've missed out on some good buffing trips in my region! Next time you guys get together around the Panhandle, let me know! I'd love to tag along.

OK, Answer time:



Andrew-Thanks! Those two rigs were ok, but my shots weren't all that good. The ALF was in the shadows and the Hush was the "wrong" side. I'll show them to you on Saturday.



Jack-Thanks! That combination isn't all that rare, I know of at least ten S.V.I. rigs on Sutphen chassis.



Keith-Ya know, I never even thought to take a look inside the cab! That's a good question.



Drew-I haven't posted the Spalding stuff yet. Some of it is still in the camera. I'll be sure to check out the rigs at Athens. Thanks for the tip.



Mark-Carroll County is west of Atlanta and borders Alabama. If you can locate Villa Rica on the map, Station 16 is NW of there.



Kyle-Sorry about that. I'll keep you in mind if we hit that area again.

Does anyone know what happened to a 1953ish open cab Howe Defender that Lookout Mountain, TN had?

Does anyone know what happened to a 1953ish open cab Howe Defender that Lookout Mountain, TN had?

I seem to recall that it was bought by a collector a few years back, but I don't remember the details.

Keep em coming Dave!!



Thanks for that answer. I just didn't know if Sutphen sold their chassis to other builders/makers. Likewise, I've seen some Sutphen/Hackneys too.
