Newell History - Change of Ownership - Fulltiming - 12-29-2012

After purchasing Streamline Travel Homes from Streamline Trailer Company and moving the operation to Oklahoma, L.K. Newell had a health scare in 1973 and sold Newell Coach to Chuck and Letty Goldenberg of Kansas City, MO. Immediately Chuck and Letty moved to Miami, OK to operate the business.

Meanwhile, in Mount Vernon, WA, Karl Blade and his wife Alice owned a Chevrolet dealership and sold Executive and then Blue Bird Wanderlodge motorhomes. In 1979, Karl and Alice Blade and two partners purchased Newell Coach from Chuck and Letty Goldenberg. The Goldenberg's still reside in Miami, immediately next door to their close friends of 30 years, Karl and Alice Blade. In 1985, Karl and Alice bought out their remaining partner's interest. For 33 years, Karl and Alice have been the driving force behind Newell Coach.
