I recently acquired Frank Wojnarowski's "Polka Pickle", a 1948 Flxible Clipper that I believe was later sold for $100 to Bud and Audrey Stone (FM3). Later she found her way into the collection of Charles Gould and was featured on "American Pickers" before he sold her to an Australian firm that later placed her up for auction. She's sitting at an RV shop in Greensboro, NC now. Her gas smells like turpentine, her asbestos brake pads were removed, and she currently has a Chevy small block engine in her. First, I'm going to get her running (and stopping), whether that means an engine rebuild or swapping that small block for a crate engine with a bit more power. Newer brake parts arrive next week so I hope to see her in action soon!
On a visit today I noticed a drawer I had overlooked. Inside was a beach chair with "Stone" written on it! It may have been hiding there for decades.
