There once was a girl who dreamed of being the rockabilly queen of the United States. I’m that girl. Because she believed dreams came true, she bought a 1954 Bellwood canned ham, towed it back to her house, and started renovating this beauty. Like many dreams, it started out really good. Water damage was was ripped out and new Birchwood put in. Vinyl was put on the dining seats. The ice box and stove were cleaned and made pretty again. Curtains were made and flamingos were bought. New lights- powder coated wheels. New water tank. This adorable canned ham went on many camping trips when it was just her and her husband. A few years later, the family started growing, and needs changed. Sadly, this canned ham sat when it should’ve been used. Time changes dreams, and to be honest, being rockabilly takes a lot of work! I don’t Have time to set my pin curls and put on cute dresses. Single mom of 2 now- I’m lucky if my hair is brushed.
This beauty is almost all original, and even has the frame to the canopy. Is she perfect? No. But what is? Especially one that was made in 1954. She needs a good polishing- which we never got around to. Did we buy the supplies to polish? Yep. Half the old screws have been replaced- and I’ll look for the box of the new ones, although I can’t promise I will find it. The vintage screws can be bought online. The propane was never hooked up- and it is made now for shore power. She can be used as is- or be fully renovated. It’s time to pass the torch.
