[VACList] Re: 54 Flying Cloud from List

[Patricia Raimondo <praimond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today I am a happy camper! I brought home my "new" 54 Flying Cloud in 
the worst rain and lightening storm I've seen in years! To make it more 
exciting, I lost the brake lights and turn signals somewhere along the 
PA turnpike so had to pull the trailer with no lights! The previous 
owner didn't have all  the parts that went with the sway bars and there 
wasn't a break-a-way switch so it wasn't the safest way to tow. My 2500 
Suburban did a super job and the only thing that worked on the VERY 
frayed harness was the trailer brakes so I made it home, from PA to 
Long Island and over the GW Bridge and Cross Bronx Exp., and more 
important, the coach make it home intact!!!!

The FC is in all original condition minus one goucho and the dinette 
table. The shell is perfect! Belly Pan intact, and lots of paperwork. 
At first glance it appears that they eliminated the 12 volt system or 
maybe in 54 it only used 110. I have lots of questions but will have 
even more for the group when I take a better look! (like is there NO 
black tank?) I see a pipe coming from under the bath with no valves. 
The trailer sat in a RV park since 74, mostly in storage. Has seen very 
little road travel. I really am excited to be back in the vintage again!
