A few weeks ago Steve shared a link to an '89 WB that is in our price range. Ron mentioned that he had once owned that coach, and still had some pictures. Today he sent me quite a few pictures of the coach as it was when it was in his care. Thanks, Ron!

We have a party that is very interested in buying our mpg, so perhaps in a month (or less) we might actually be ready to seriously look at specific coaches with an eye to buying one of them. When that day comes be prepared for some specific questions. Several of you have kindly answered my questions, and others on other forums have done likewise, so I think that I have a pretty good idea of what, in general, I'm getting myself into. Since we're looking at coaches that are 20-30 years old, I don't expect that I'll be able to talk to every owner of each coach, but if someone knows a particular coach I'd appreciate hearing from you. Private messages or emails are probably better than publicly discussing a coach.

I suspect that some of you have owned other brands prior to your Newell, so if Tom will permit it, should a 'Bird or Foretravel (the other two brands we're seriously considering) be of serious interest, I'd like to share that specific coach here on the chance that a previous owner might be here. Lest anyone wonder, at this point a Newell Classic WB is at the top of our list, but I also realize that there aren't all that many out there, and not all of those are for sale, especially in our fairly low price range.

Thanks in advance for all of the good advice that you are going to share with me. I look forward to meeting more of you over the next couple of years (retirement is June 2015).
