The Estate....

[zavod44]

After a ling time, I was able to strike a deal with Troy and I acquired the old barn find Estate...Here it is compared to my other Estate.  The newly aquired one is much lighter....They are both in need of a good cleaning, and a ground up resto's on both of them....







I know Duke isn't in to them, but these Chestnut Copperton's are one of my favorite colors....

Cool grills.....the one on the left looks much lighter in color than the other.

I was just gonna put a link on the other thread....Yea that's the new one...it's much lighter

That's some Americana right there.....are there year dates determined on these, or no?

[zavod44]

It's in the 67' catalog, but prob gone pretty soon after that....

What's that metal frame in the background?  A sneek peak at Azul Two? 

[zavod44]

Oh you are so clever Mr. Bman....nice eye.  That is indeed the beginnings of the new and improved Mesa Azul....

That is AWESOME! Is that the grill Troy borrowed from his parents neighbors to restore?

[Duke]

Nice rack! I have never been a fan of that color, but they are definitly rare and prized. I look forward to seeing them refinished Brian. You have an awesome collection. I really like those covers too.

Way to close the deal Troy. I think I remember the owner, was adamant about not selling.

[Troy]

yeah, the grill had sentimental value
it was his brothers, who died 20 years ago.

his brother really loved the grill, so this guy inherited that love.
it sat in a barn for 20 years.

he was extra reluctant to sell because he thought that I would be re-selling for a profit.
Once he understood that it would be restored and cherished he felt much more comfortable.
