Antique Shows Not Limited to Furniture

Think antique shows, you probably don't think of RVs. But last week, 14 "vintage" RVs at Florida's Koreshan State Historic Site showed that history doesn't just come on legs, sometimes it comes on wheels.

Take for instance, that 1947 Westcraft Coach travel trailer: A young man came back from World War II and spent the next 10 years living in it before he finally settled down, married, and moved to a 'sticks and bricks' dwelling. Now 80 years old, the man still has the trailer--and a lot of memories to go with it.

More than 14 vintage rigs were displayed at an event put on by the Tin Can Tourists, a 500+ member organization of folks who celebrate those vintage RVs. The outfit sponsors rallys and shows to display these unique and memorable RVs. For more information on the club, visit their website. For more on the story, see the published account in The News Press.
