Hey Cliff, glad you enjoyed it. I've been collecting and restoring since 1999. Everything you see in the video I've had to restore. If it didn't need to be restored I didn't bring it home. Some of the stuff was pretty rough but that made it more challenging. The video unit started it's life as a 1958 Bowser gas pump. I bought it and decided to transform it into an entertainment unit with a TV, VCR and DVD unit inside.

The Coca Cola sofa started it's life as a 1954 full size Coke cooler. These coolers aren't that desirable as a collectable due to there Hugh size so I decided to make a sofa out of it. There's also another one just like it in the video but I turned that one into a diner table.
The next time your in Newfoundland, Drop in for a Coke! Thanks, Paul

Well I found this very unique tail light plate that was made for the Dream. I can't seem to find another one like it of even any information about it but here's what it looks like. Paul

Hello again everyone. Just stoped in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I just did a video you may enjoy viewing so I figured I'd attach the link for you all. Stay well everyone and take care. Paul
