That's when i first discovered the 1950 westcraft listed on bring a trailer. By the end of the day I watched from the last 2 min of the auction till it finished.I was amazed at how much everyone loved it! I also thought to myself... only one of these 4 people who really wanted the westcraft will end up with it. At that point I decided to restore and build the 1947 to be as close to the 1950 as possible. Along the way I tried to improve in areas but keep the elegant speak easy vibe in the interior. Having my own restoration shop and high end construction company made this the perfect project to throw all of my passion from both companies into this rare piece of rolling art. I'm sure that the 1950 westcraft that sold is incredible! I'm not trying to take anything away from what that became.
