Is the 'Beaver' back in Oregon??
Got this news from a friend in Oregon:
"Just thought you'd be interested to be among the first to know Beaver Coaches will be built again within about 2 years. It was just announced today to the Beaver club members that our friend, Ty Kelly, owner of Beaver Coach Sales in Bend, has purchased the pertinent rights from REV Group (the former Allied Vehicle Corp.), the outfit that bought Monaco from Navistar. So now the name is back home where it began, right next door in fact, and owned not by a conglomerate.
Life is good."
Not sure if this is good news or just news to Beaver owners. Time will tell. My friend owns one and this makes him happy since he lives in Oregon.
