First photo show s "Chummy" with my '31 Roadster when new. Photo two, eight years later. The '30 Briggs town sedan towed the trailer to a teardrop campout.. The white box is a refrigerator. The rear panel swings up to
make a table forcooking, even if it is raining. Note one of the galley doors open above that. Photo 3, you can see that it even looks good with a Chevy. Plans are available.

Ron,

The Chummy II is a really interesting trailer. The reason Chummy I is gone is that he got ran over by a jacked up pickup. Totaled the trailer and his Model A, not to mention injuring him seriously.

He had his boattail Chevy with the trailer at Spamboree. A very cool setup.

Nick.
