Episode 7: 1948 Curtis Wright

Give a listen to the story of the loving restoration of Dave and Lori Whites' 1948 Curtis Wright Model 5 Clipper. It took over five-years and multiple attempts to make it their own. The interior has been customized and the exterior features a flowing black stripe on the sides of the Model 5 that was modeled after a 1948 advertisement. Creating an authentic stripe took research, time, and perseverance to achieve.

One time at Boot Camp...

Way back in early March 2020 we took a road trip from our hometown of Portland, Oregon to Hollister, California and Vintage Camper Trailer Magazine's boot camp. It's about a twelve or so hour drive according to google maps, but we make it into a two-day trip down the I-5 corridor with a few stops along the way. We usually get pumped up on black coffee and maple bars for breakfast around ten in the morning. That's followed by some Slim Jim's, Skittles, and Mexican Cokes for lunch.
