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.
The Aristocrat Custom Built trumpets were multi-pitch horns that could be tuned to Bb or A.
The main tuning slide has two sections. Note the two rounded vertical braces just behind the "C" shaped brace in the main slide's crook. Those braces support an independent stretch of tubing.
When tuning to regular Bb, you just adjusted the main slide as usual, sliding the whole main assembly in and out. When you wanted to tune to A, you slid the main slide out and then pulled the portion of the slide assembly with the "C" brace even farther out.
Note the knurled ring on tubing extending from the third valve case to the main slide. Just to the right of that ring you can threading in the tube. The ring is a threaded ferrule used to lock the slide into position when it was extended.

We recieved today the final welded components for the first time and oput everything next to each other to see how large the whole thing will be! One word: Enormous!
Note the bushing at the end of the receiver. That general style of receiver mouth had been characteristic of Buescher brass instruments since the 1930s, except for the very first Custom Built model trumpets introduced in 1935, Models 235 and 237.
The pre-war Custom Built models were loaded with nickel-silver components. However, the Model 215 is an all-brass horn.
Buescher was always ready to take special orders; features like nickel-silver receivers were probably a standard option available for the asking.

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.
