Merman Dan Report post Posted April 9, 2022 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) This is something we will all like to follow. As Wayne said lots of pictures, please. Just looking, I'll bet you wouldn't have any trouble getting a residential through the front door. Herman Edited April 9, 2022 by hermanmullins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I think I remember seeing some manuals or pdf's on the http://www.barthmobile.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/3731087061/p/1 website for the Flixable motor-homes. That seems like a good resource for MH's made in the 20 century. Edited April 9, 2022 by rayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted April 9, 2022 I'm amazed that wood paneling is in such good condition, is it original? Apparently the coach has been well cared for over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aztec7fan Report post Posted April 30, 2022 Wow, my parents were good friends with Bud and Audrey. I believe FMCA got together in the 1960s to help raise a barn for them to be able to store the coach inside. Chris g. F3508s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
