NC7501V, housed in my backyard (San Luis Obispo) for years. Never was able to catch a ride, although it showed up at many airshows, local and national. I was lucky enough, as a kid, to take a ride in one with my dad. That must have been circa 1958 or so.
Oshkosh 2004
Home field SBP
Sold in 2002, not sure where she is now.

And, I should point out that thanks to Kurt's sleuthing out the new home of NC7501V ... I found out that the "Ford" Tri Motor isn't actually a Ford after all. It's a 1960s vintage Stout Bushmaster 2000; "a small commuter airliner built in the United States in an attempt to revive the Ford Trimotor design."
Whatever it is that's hanging down next to the engine nacelle, it's a cool detail. Must the the pull down to the attic... .. .
edit_ Turns out it's an optional Mail Compartment.
I don't think It's a v tail ...
