Think the Warrenty is Still Good?

When I first looked inside Lil' Chick's closet, even before buying her, I saw a couple pieces of paper taped to the inside wall.  When I say "paper" and "taped," I really mean something more like "remnants of parchment" and "barely holding on with ancient masking tape."

Turned out to be a wiring diagram.....

.....and what I think is the original warranty.

They're in such bad condition - very dry and brittle and pieces missing - that I wanted to somehow save them, so tonight I carefully removed them from the wall, attached them to sheets of plain acid-free paper, put them into clear protective sleeves, and tucked them into my Lil' Chick binder.

They've already yielded some valuable information about the Chick:  from the decal above her rear window, we know she's a "Thunderbolt," and now from these papers we know that she was manufactured by Montclair Mobile Homes, Inc., Travel Trailer Division (no longer in existence).  Because there were a plethora of travel trailer manufacturers in Southern California during the mid-century, I'm assuming the "Montclair" is the SoCal town, versus the town of the same name in Northern California, so I contacted a historical society in that area to see if they have any info on them as a company in the 1960s.  I'd love to find some archival info about Thunderbolts - my web searching so far has yielded a big fat nothing.

But, that's all part of the sleuthing adventure in Vintageville!
