Pearl Beer Delivery Wagon

Rebuild the undercarriage but keep the old original floor and front, I want it to look old but drivable that was the owners request.

request.

Texas Wagon Works

Returning to the downtown streets of San Antonio, The Pearl Beer Delivery Wagon. Built by Koeing & Luhrs of Quincy Mass. in the 1870’s this wagon made the downtown delivery rout as late as 1915. Aubrey Kline, vice president and public relations director at the Pearl brewery donated the wagon to Bob Dale’s Old San Antonio Village in 1960 and it was last displayed in 1991 at Bob’s  Cowboy Museum that was located across the street from the Gunter Hotel. A true piece of San Antonio’s history, this wagon made deliveries at all of the well known watering holes like Bella Union, The Big Four Saloon, Terminal Bar, and the famous Buckhorn Saloon .

 Driven by Hugh Shelton owner of Texas Wagon Works and his team of Norwegian Fjords.

 

Total Restoration, we replaced nearly all of the wood and rebuilt the wheels and add new upholstery to bring the carriage back to life.

Replaced floor and hardwood boards running the length of the buggy

  This is the body for a delivery wagon made of cypress and oak 9'6" box

Mardi Gras krew Chaos

14 spoke 33"in diameter with massive 10 1/2 x 16 inch hub

Notice the spoke splitting due to someone driving wedges in the spoke tenon in order to tighten the spoke and felloe joint. This severely weakens the tenon, an old practice but not a good idea on a wheel supporting this kind of weight.
