I am 34 and living in Vancouver Canada...my intrest in Prams started about 10 months ago when my wife and i found out we were soon too have a second child! My mother in law had had a gendron pram that my wife used to ride around in....she fell in love with it and had always wanted one of her own,so my secret search began..hours of research and contact with prammies from all over europe..its fairly difficult to come across prams in canada...i found about 10 prams..most were in dire need of repair.. but i loved the hunt,so i would find one take pics of it and then using this site and Sandra at coach built prams try and figure out what i was looking at! I was feeling fairly frustrated after about 6 months of searching..i went and looked at a black wilson chantilly....and it was very nice..but at this point i was fairly informed on prams and i really wanted a big bodied pram..if possible with the 24..18...wheel combo....the owner of the chantilly informed me she had sold a Wilson Monaco to a local antique shop about 10 months earlier,so i went to the shop and there it was dusty and forgotten but in excellent shape...with all the original chrome bits still in place,a deal was made(it helped knowing what the dealer had paid!)..and it came home with me,after a wash,wax and polishing it came up stunning!...My wife walks our son all the time and loves answering peoples questions about the lovely old pram!
