This Is Not To Scale: January 2012
http://thisisnottoscale.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 7, 2012. I Lied. One More Batch of History. I just keep finding images and photos in the stack of documents we got with the Greenbrier. It's clear that Ken and June [original owners] loved adventure, and documenting along the way. Here are some large format prints I found while going through the box this week. I'd love to hear any knowledge or guesses of where these were taken if you recognize the scenery. Friday, January 6, 2012. Top and Center Stripe painting invoice. What I have read...

Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Some photo history Pt. 1. Clearly it has been outfitted with various camper tops through the years, and I can say that I'm happy with what the current top is, for many reasons. Monday, December 12, 2011.

January 2, 2012 at 10:30 AM. Aye another vote for favorite BaT story. January 3, 2012 at 10:08 AM. Hey guys, thanks for the vote’! I think this Greenbrier is a pretty special car, with some great history which has been a ball to own so far. 1964 Corvair Bargain Racer. That ca...

This Is Not To Scale: One Last Bit Of History... really thin and fragile paper.
http://thisisnottoscale.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-last-bit-of-history-really-thin-and.html
Friday, January 6, 2012. One Last Bit Of History. really thin and fragile paper. Here are the invoices from the dealer that were passed along with a large binder of receipts and maintenance records. I always love when cars come along with these original invoices. Oh how prices have changed. The Brooks' [original owners] traded in a 1960 4door Ford Falcon for their beloved Greenbrier. Top and Center Stripe painting invoice. And I can't really read anything on this PO, but here it is. A friend of mine has ...

This Is Not To Scale: The Adventures of Greenbrier, Volume 1 ; 90 pages of history
http://thisisnottoscale.blogspot.com/2012/01/adventures-of-greenbrier-volume-1-90.html
Sunday, January 1, 2012. The Adventures of Greenbrier, Volume 1 ; 90 pages of history. What I have read is inspiring to me to see how this Greenbrier was a way for being with family and creating memories, and a tool for exploring their curiosities. In addition to that, I love reading the process of them selecting the Greenbrier over a VW, and how Ken and June methodically customized it to meet their needs. more than once.

http://thisisnottoscale.blogspot.com/2011/12/few-photos-from-along-they-way-sea-pdx.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. A few photos from along the way SEA PDX SFO WAD. A quick photo slideshow from along the way. Details, first 916 mile impressions, and the trip by the numbers. WAD = [wife approval drive]. December 12, 2011 at 9:31 AM. Awesome pictures. Thanks for posting! December 12, 2011 at 9:33 AM. Looks like the pop-top is a recent modification (original pics with a hard camper top). Should make it much more drivable (MPG and stability). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And so it begins.

http://thisisnottoscale.blogspot.com/2011/12/not-so-quick-walking-tour-of-camper.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. A not so quick walking tour of the camper. So we took a little afternoon trip out to Muir Woods, so Meg and Mater could experience the excellence of our new rig. Here's a not-so-quick, quick walking tour of some of the features. I'm still working on a summary of the trip to pick it up, and the 916 mile return trip, but in short, it was amazing. No mechanical problems what so ever. Ran like a top the whole way. Needless to say, we're in love. January 7, 2012 at 3:40 PM. Its just...
