It triggered a memory in me of a painful yet sweet time in my life many years ago. I was trapped in a dysfunctional marriage with seemingly no way out. A nuclear engineer came to our non-profit charity to donate his car. Being a fellow engineer we bonded and he shared his plans for the future. He was fed up with our government, our tax system, our legal system and the impending demise of California. After yet another divorce his fortunes were drained by attorneys, the IRS, and his ex\u2019s. He was headed to Ecuador where, with his remaining secret stash of cash he had squirreled away over past decades, he said he could live quite comfortably. I noticed he had driven out of the nice gated retirement trailer park across from the charity. He owned a vintage trailer in there which he said he would keep just in case things didn\u2019t work out in Ecuador. \r\n\r\nLong story short, he let me have the trailer for free if I would maintain it and keep up with his rose garden with the caveat he might have to move back at anytime. Done deal. I gave my soon to be ex our coastal house and new Mini convertible, took my clothes out of the closet and escaped my prison of hell in the middle of the night. He put his clothes in two suitcases and I drove him to SFO as we both embarked on our new lives. \r\n\r\nThe trailer paled in comparison to yours but was a fully furnished, all original 60\u2019s model. All mine for a few measly hundred bucks in monthly park fees and rose fertilizer! I was 55 and the youngest by 20+ years in the park. At the first Homeowners meeting, after wading through walkers and mobility scooters, they asked me if I was the financial planner coming to speak to them. I told them, no, I had just moved into Bob\u2019s \u201ctrailer.\u201d In unison, they exclaimed, \u201cyou\u2019re too young to be here and they are NOT \u201ctrailers\u201d - they are \u201ccoaches!\u201d These sweet elderly people took great pride in their old \u201ccoaches\u201d and were a far cry from being trailer trash. \r\n\r\nIn the ten years I lived there, I watched in dismay as these kind old folks passed on and their beautiful vintage coaches were hauled away, replaced by new modern trailers. Oh how I would have loved to have your stunning piece of history and time to move into the park. The old folks would surely have shed tears of seeing this work of art from days gone by!\r\n\r\nMay someone with far more assets than I appreciate the time, money, and love that went into this restoration of artwork, and bid what this \u201ccoach\u201d is worth and preserve it for a long, long time!", "likes": 62, "timestamp": 1628102243, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6651242, "authorName": "trademark", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/trademark/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@muserink\r\n\r\nI'm surprised Mike Malamut did not try to buy this trailer from you ;)\r\n\r\nGood luck ~ I suspect many don't realize what it will take to buy this", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1628102608, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6651445, "authorName": "Bakala1877", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bakala1877/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!

It was actually a short wheelbase GMC school bus chassis that had been re-bodied with the body and interior of a brand new Cadillac. Mr. Newberry demanded the very finest, particularly if it rode on wheels. Of the 1950 Westcraft Capistrano he used to say, \u201cI got it for my wife. Best trade I ever made.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhen it came to finance and figures, he had no peer. When it came to travel, very few people knew that he actually had a fear of flying. The Cadillac pulling the Capistrano was the solution to that phobia. It was the best combination of business and pleasure he\u2019d devised since his buxom traveling companion and masseuse received her CPA certificate.\r\n\r\nHe decamped the coach on a bluff overlooking a small private lake outside of town so that the sunsets could best be captured by the bank of windows flanking the burgundy leather couch, and made his way into town to meet with the city leaders. His white suit was as crisp as the Benjamins folded in his wallet and as southern as his dialect.\r\n\r\n\u201cGentlemen,\u201d he started, \u201cthere are two things coming our way that will revolutionize life as we know it, and right now is the time to prepare for both of them.\u201d\r\n\r\nMayor Goodman and the others were on the edge of their seats.\r\n\r\n\u201cAir conditioning and interstates.\u201d he whispered.\r\n\r\nThe assembled group sat back in their chairs, disappointed, as he thought they might be. But he had their attention.\r\n\r\n\u201cWithin a few years there will be air conditioning in every car on the road, and every building you enter. With its centralized location, Fort Stockton is poised to be the next vacation destination for all of America if you have the vision to make it happen.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe went on to explain that with year-round sunny weather coupled with his vision of a permanent amusement park surrounded by expensive hotels and restaurants, all connected by a futuristic monorail system, he could make Fort Stockton the entertainment capital of the Lone Star State. \u201cMaybe the whole southwest region of the country. Maybe all of America. And those who get in early will be rich.\u201d he implored.\r\n\r\nMayor Goodman saw dollar signs. Marv Townsend saw the possibility of the need for a second Piggly Wiggly location. Others weren\u2019t so sure.\r\n\r\nThose are the ones who received special invitations to the air conditioned cobalt Capistrano. They were served aged Kentucky bourbon in Waterford tumblers while they puffed on Cubans and admired the woodwork that was of a higher quality than that of the boardroom of the Prairie View State Bank in town.\r\n\r\nThose who owned ranches that served as potential sites for the entertainment fantasy Mr. Newberry was selling were picked up by the chauffeured Cadillac Seventy-Five and delivered to the Capistrano coach while Mr. Newberry\u2019s traveling companion sat next to him in the backseat and flipped through artist\u2019s renderings of the park\u2019s proposed features. Many of them wondered just what that ride would be like to experience.\r\n\r\nIn the end, it was not to be. By a vote of 5-4, the town council rejected the proposal. Four of the five that voted \u2018nay\u2019 couldn\u2019t get past the fantasy of air conditioning in every car and building, much less the broader vision. One just kept saying, \u201cWhy would we ever need a second Piggly Wiggly?\u201d\r\n\r\nNext day, the Cadillac and the Capistrano coach pulled out of town. From the backseat, Tristan Newberry rolled down the window and wished them well as he took one last spin around the courthouse square. He mentioned he had an appointment in two days with someone in Anaheim that understood entertainment. \u201cIf it all works out, hell, we might put one in California and one in Florida!\u201d\r\n\r\nHard to imagine such a thing.
