AHHHHHHHHHHH! Wow! Look at that cardboard box! Is that real clear tape?
I have been holding this one image back because its just too juicy to have it in a sea of photos. Like the BW shot of the storage showroom. but this one is current. YUP. And that Racer is.. Yes, the racer in the old family photos. Grandama fave! Stay tuned on that story.
Early 19 Racer. It was Blue and white. The wood was never touched. Remember you can now click and blow up the image
This one
And yes, its an endless journey through all this, and is so wonderful to just take it all in and know there are folks that care to keep history alive. I bow to thee Greg. As Greg told me, dad would say, “why do you want that stuff, its taking up space that we could rent out space for” And that is the truest thing I have heard regarding how we all got here drooling over old signs and stuff. Think about it, We all chuck stuff that we take for granted. And so it goes. So bask and dive in. All of it is real, and still in the universe. Not the land fill!
See the broken Neon Dealer sign? See those drawers? They are made out of the wood that outboards were shipped in.
The Standard fish and boat wheel clock on a peg board.
Okay, who is Schuler? Well, its phase 2 of the Wallace empire. Yup in the 1930’s Wallace was sold, and the family moved over to Schuler after Chris Craft moved the dealership to them. But, which is another story. I sure hope none of you are lactose intolerant. Its just now getting juicy.

…and the story on “Bye Gone” is???

“Bye Gone”, what a great name that would make on a classic boat today. The neon dealer sign could be repaired, but might not be worth the cost? Is that possibly a later model Hacker sitting by the racer? Looks to have the black gunnels.

Well. It does take about 345 pulls to make a gallon of milk.
So this could take awhile.
