Jack's 1966 Sunbeam Alpine

 

Here's the story of Jack's 1966 Sunbeam Alpine.

On December 12, 2024, Curt Holland and Craig Farr made the 600 mile drive to NE Pennsylvania to retrieve the Sunbeam from a barn, where it has been for the last 40? years.

With it safely loaded on the trailer for the return trip, they headed back to Jack's home the next day.

 

 

 

 

  

The Lily Bean coffee crew from BREMC gathered at Lily Bean on Saturday morning December 14, 2024, and after fueling with coffee, all headed to Jack's house to unload the Alpine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first challenge was backing the trailer over Jack's narrow bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It took a few tries but we finally got the car in position to unload into the carport. Jack is supervising us.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Curt, Craig, Skip, Mac, Jeff and Tom attached a chain to the back axle and just pulled the car off the trailer! Wishful thinking, if it only rolled this easily. 

Instead, they wound up using a come-a-long to pull it off the trailer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mission accomplished! The 1966 Sunbeam Alpine is safe in her new home, ready for Jack to get well and start working on it.
