We have stayed in an rv park in La Grande before. Also have spent some time out at Red Bridge State Park out on the East Fork of the Grande Ronde River. We had a mining claim for a year about 15-20 miles farther out on the river. Spent some time up in Sumpter, really like that area in the summer. Been a while since we have been there. | ||

Luvrbus, Klein does ring a bell but we had several Eagle owners years back==Herman Gunnels his brother and several of his logging crew. They went to Parrumpp (sp) a lot . They got me started looking for a bus. Don't recall the name Lane tho. Ed both are very pretty places used to patrol south of LaGrande some. The son in law that watches the dogs when I am gone is Park Ranger for that area. Mainly at State Park at Meacham, but travels to Red Bridge some. Is nice around here but some backward and behind. Sam slow on the uptake had to read the asleep thing several times. | ||

It looks like that's a Ford Skyliner convertible with the retractable steel top. Pretty rare. (I like the bus too). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNrMPrH4Pl4 | ||

When they were new, they claimed that there was a mile of wire in them. Included the wire in the motor windings. | ||

I don't know about wire but I do know that there were several Ford Starter Type Solenoids behind the back seat bolted to the compartment wall and it was not unusual to have to pop the back seat and massage them with the jack handle to get the top to move sometimes. Not cool if it is raining and the top is down. There is a reason that they were only made for 3 model years. | ||
