Well, bump! Be nice if we had a search function; I had to go to page 15 for this.
So an original F-V Shops Erie-Built came up on eBay, and sold to a good friend for mucho dinero. I was bidding, but dropped out at the halfway point. Good thing; I dislike bidding against my buddies.
Best of all I have photos, and written permission to post them. That will happen momentito, with comments.
I am beyond delighted that this anachronism will be restored and saved from the recycling bin - by my buddies!
