For $5 a month, you can help us repair and refurbish her bell, light her cab and headlight, number boards, and marker lights. Then we’ll move on to the cab: repairing and replacing front door frames, installing new windows, and preparing the engine for a complete paint job.

Your recurring or one-time donation will help us to promote, restore and preserve the 1356 for generations to come.
