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.
Buescher's Bell, Triangle and Tuning Fork "True-Tone" logo, stamped on the third valve case. Buescher had used that logo since about the 1910s.

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.
The Model 232 Aristocrat bell diameter measured to 4.25"; I'm not sure of the the Model 235's diameter. I'll have to measure it!!
Note how the main tuning slide is canted to the left, and the nickel-silver components used in the slide assemblies. It's interesting that Buescher sprayed lacquer over the nickel-silver horn components - but that appears to have been standard practice for Buescher.
The Model 235's receiver differs from those on all prior Buescher horns. Note how it gradually tapers out to its mouth, which lacks a rounded bushing.
The Model 235 and the Aristocrat Custom Built Models 236, 237 and 238, all in production at the same time, were all fitted with receivers of this type.
I don't know anything about the receiver's specs, or if it really differed from the receivers on other Buescher instruments of the time in any way other than its appearance. Presumably it and the mouthpipe assembly's specifications were different.
