But a matched trailer is VERY cool
Big enough!
Even matching cooler and picnic table

moment of interest for trailers
Not photoshopped, it really is that short. About 6 feet it looks like
I noticed the trailer hitch framework covered by a nice piece on the nose... well done! It's the only ugly part of a trailer. This fairing does triple duty, aerodynamic help, better looks, and keeps the rain off the natural gas tank.

The biggest movie star has the biggest trailer. Well, that makes sense.




Will Smith was using a trailer so big, the business people in Soho got it kicked off of the neighborhood streets and into a parking lot
Asking price is 2 million by the manufacturer, Anderson Mobile Estates, and this one seems to be regularly used by the movie company Columbia Pictures while the movie Men In Black III is getting filmed.

Photos of the unusual from days gone by thread on the HAMB


Looks like 2 or 3 Buick bodies grafted together with an RV on top.I just found this post on the Hemmings Blog, and it identifies this vehicle as having been called the ShamRockAway http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/01/31/hemmings-find-of-the-day-the-shamrockaway

1937 Ford house car



when discovered in a garage (under a heavy cover) in Northern Minnesota in August 2001, she had only 19,000 miles, and the owner’s manual was actually still in the glove box in like-new condition!
She had always been garaged and treated with ‘Much TLC’ as a collector vehicle.
The interior, all wood lined, was still the way it appeared in the ’30′s and ’40′s, complete with framed photos of the original owner on his travels (mainly to Florida) and his cabin in the North Woods, plus and other memorabilia from the era.
Built on the ’37 Ford Pickup frame and cowling (powered by a 60-hp flathead V8 with aluminum heads), the rear framing is all wood, with the metal skin wrapped around it. The roof structure, too, is all wood, over which the heavy, waterproofed canvas top is still very securely fitted. The structure of the Body is solid, appearing from underneath to be all oak, and still in a remarkably unaltered, undamaged condition. The door frames are thick, solid oak, and oak is visible around the window openings (as on the four side windows in back) — though it is painted over.
She was a big hit at this campground once we got that Great old flattie V8 hummin’! Note her expanding roof and the original dark green color, which had been repainted. I figure the canvas roof was originally painted in reflective silver to keep it from getting too hot inside. All four side windows open, while the back one tilts out to three positions. The windshield also tilts open at the bottom for natural AC while driving.
Here are a few shots of her in August 2001, out on the road in the Chippewa National Forest north of Grand Rapids via: http://saddlebrookesmiles.wordpress.com/page/4

Cool designs, and trailers I'd love to admire in person
On the road in the mid 1930's, from Beirut to Baghdad, by way of Damascus, reminded me of the 1937 D-35 Jungle Caravan of Commander Gatti http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html
The above was designed by Brooks Stevens, its a 1936 Zephyr Land Yacht
The above is a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. I'd like to see a photo of the rig in the trunk of the car towing it. It reminded me of http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/rare-trailer-and-pulling-car-combo.htmlPosted by alex at 9:06 PM 0 comments
