Event Coverage Gathering of the Times Vintage Trailer Rally 2017

There was a big turn out for the Vintage Campers & a few old trucks showed up also,I'm sure next year there will be more old cars and trucks,hopefully we can hook up the wagon to our old Shasta for the next trip to Pine Mountain.





Nice 65 Ford.



Lucky to get a photo of this truck,it staued on the move the whole time.



This guy was from Florida.





As I walked around talking to the participants I learned that many of the people are also hot rodder and into early model cars and I met a couple of Hambers too!. HRP

 

Great pictures HRP, thanks for sharing.

This is probably the most unique vintage camper I have ever seen.

I was told this is one of three built and the only one that has been restored,it's a 1947 Great Western.



















Can you imagine just how many hours were spent buffing & polishing this behemoth? HRP

 

Just the dreaded black X's.

ALL GOOD NOW. CARRY ON .

Some very cool rigs!

 

All of them? HRP

 

I got the same thing just a minute ago. Refreshed the page and the pics showed up.

Nice trailer!

 

Do you guys see the logo? HRP

 

I see it HRP.

 

Yup.

 

OK,trying again. HRP

This is a 1937 Peirce Arrow.

 

My friend Kevin's 1962 forester,he did a total restoration on this one.

 

Same age as me! I guess I need to be restored!

 

Cool Airstream.

 

That Great Western is wild, the tin work is killer. Love the "speed lines" behind the windows. My brother is in the business, he restores vintage trailers, I'll have to see if he's ever heard of them.
I've been to a couple vintage trailer rallys with my brother, always a few hot rodders or at least old car folks at them.

 

Good pictures, Danny. Looks like a fun time.

 

I see everything.

Cool pics. I may do this myself one day.

 

This camper had me wondering what it was and after I caught up with the owners I was told it's a Sprite Caravan and built in 1969 in the UK.









I was told this is a new re-creation.















Stretched out and enjoying my second cup of coffee early Friday morning...and no schedule. HRP

 

Some seriously cool campers there !!!

 

Love the '60 Buick tail lights on that one.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing

 

I can understand liking those! Very cool!
Where was the meet held? Is it always same weekend as PF?

 

Bill,the rally was in Pine Mountain,Georgia and this was my first time attending so I'm unsure if it's always held on the same weekend. HRP

 

Danny, I love the rear view on the Great Western trailer- kinda reminds me of the tailgunner's position on a B 17!

 

Your right Mac,it does. HRP

 

and a couple of BIG Vintage campers.

 

it looks like a lot of fun do any of the people have hot rods?

 

Thanks for the pix, the Great Western is Beautiful. There are some wonderful old campers there.

 

Ron,do it sooner than later while your son is still young enough to want to do it with you.

John,I talked to a lot of people and the majority of guys I talked to are hot rodders or own some type of classic cars,Chuck that was beside us has a 1956 Ranch Wagon and Greg that was behind us has a 1936 Ford Cabriolet hot rod.

I also ran into a Hamber while I was there and saw a Greasy Hub Cap CC plaque on a Chevy Station wagon but never caught up with him. HRP
