The 265 cornet could be played in Bb or A. Note the main tuning slide and then the smaller slide with a stippled metal ring on the tubing next to the foot of that slide's vertical bracing post.
That ring is a threaded locking ferrule. When you wanted to tune the horn to A you pulled out that slide and then tightened the ferrule to lock it in position, and then pulled out the other slides to further tune down the horn.
Note the nickel-silver used in the slide crooks; Buescher also used nickel-silver on the various slide assembly's internal tubing.
1934 Ford Truck built ground up by Ed Riley of Crosby,Tx. This truck has 350 hp LS1 Chevy Motor and weighs 2500. There is a Custom Built Pro-Street Frame with a 9" Ford Rearend and a Kuggel Front end. The truck was built to drive on the street, go to the Car Shows, and just have fun.

In 1967 the Ministry of Transport commissioned a fleet of seven custom-built Bedford vehicles to go around the country promoting British production techniques. Only one bus survives and it took the current owner Ollie Halls five years to retore the mobile cinema to it's pristine condition. The Vintage Mobile Cinema seats 22 in comfort and has a state-of-the-art HD digital projection unit. Above the cab there is ( for the 1960's ) a futuristic-looking clear Perspex dome.

The Aristocrat Custom Built horns were engraved with a more elaborate pattern than on the base line Aristocrat model trumpets. They are all engraved in an Art-Deco inspired pattern; a style Buescher started using in the early '30s.
Note the opaque quality of the lacquer remnants on the bell; a characteristic of Buescher's "gold" lacquer of the 1930s.
The Model 235's bell-tail taper is long and gradual; the taper on the Aristocrat horns was similar but perhaps a little tighter. The flare out to the bell's rim, here and on the Aristocrat, starts out pretty close to the bell's mouth. Both models seem to have been designed to deliver a compact, focused tone.

This rather unusual car/truck was at the show, a rather nice looking pickup conversion on a Ford PInto, it seems to be a good quality job on the custom conversion...

Bradford built up some custom wheels for Heather's Rockcity. All the bikes for the show used Velocity wheels; for Heather we opted for the Velocity Aero laced to some low-flange single-fixed hubs from Phil Wood & Co.
Like the Model 232 Aristocrat Buescher introduced in 1930, the Model 235 "Aristocrat Custom Built" horns were configured in long, compact wraps. It was a popular style in the 1930s, but fell out of favor in the '40s; After 1939 Buescher would never design another trumpet in a long wrap.
Note here and in the following pic that the main slide is configured to curve down at an angle and enter the third valve case on the left side of the third valve slide.
Ron Cravens with Dad's first place-winning Class XII home-built trailer and custom-restored Gold Wing at Wing Ding XVII, presented by the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRAA),1995 in Greenville, South Carolina; this is following that award, in the Christmas parade in Henderson, Kentucky that same year. The corvette trailer top popped up and the luggage went inside. It got a lot of attention, needless to say. Here is an even better photo.

I mean, it looks like it is owned by either an arrogant architect who custom-built it in the 80's, or it's home to a cocaine-addicted lawyer who picked this neighborhood for its total obscurity.
