I am amazed the car bodies are still at Bull Hill!
As for the Cascade 100, it's almost in my backyard. It indeed is at the old strip in Las Vegas......but it is not well taken care of. Del Gerbaz sold it some 25 years ago after he "restored" it at his home in Woody Creek....near Aspen, CO.
I was in the car back in 1981 and it was very nice. Del also has a huge collection on Colorodo Midland items....all of which he sold seperatly. Bob Richardson said he wished he could have purchased the entire lot, but he was not aware the items were being sold.
It was moved from the Brewery location several years ago, due to zoning issues! It's new location is up the street in a not so protected part of town. Some of the windows are missing and have blacked out plywood. At least the car is under cover
