1947 Cub Modernistic Vintage Aluminum Teardrop Camp Trailer

[oregonguy]

This is the one! Copied by all of the plan vendors, this little teardrop is considered to be one of the all-time classics. Its curvature and proportions are very desirable. This 1947 original teardrop is a factory version purchased off of the showroom floor. Complete and beautiful, this 4X10 foot trailer is in relatively great shape, just a few of small dings and dents. With some minor bodywork, it could be amazing. All of the wiring works and has been tested. Beautiful teak wooden sleeping interior with a clothes shelf – doubles as sleeping shelf for small child, custom light, and clothing cabinets overhead. Fully Insulated interior, top and sides! The trailer has a new working 2-burner propane stove, 22”x16”x12” custom insulated icebox, 11”x16” porcelain sink with working manual pump faucet, custom cabinets, propane tank w/ gauge, new 10 gallon poly water tank and working battery. Galley hatch door has been rebuilt with oak stringers and dual metal support sliders. It has a working dual light in the rear galley hatch for cooking at night. Check out the beautiful curved fenders of heavy aluminum. New tires and 1-7/8” hitch. Pull as is or an easy restore to perfection! Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions regarding the teardrop. I have tons of pictures that I can email you if you are interested. $5k OBO

This is be nice to a newbie day, you can see more small pictures on the craigslist post. Since his TD & TTT ad is a cut and paste from CL it is possible it is a scam, but I would give him the benefit of the doubt and bet he is just lacking forum decorum

I do like the idea of be nice to newbie day....hopefully it helps me sell it.

Jon,

Thanks for being good natured about the ribbing. You will generate a lot of interest here if you take time to create your photo album and post some good quality pictures. There is a link above in blue for help with photos. We have a lot of traffic here with folks that are looking to buy a good classic. Lots of luck with your sale.

I am still quite new to the site and am still working on learning all the in's & out's. I'll be sure to get some photos posted, & maybe set up my photo album.

I agree it's one of the nicer teardrop profiles. Kenskill is another.

Welcome to the Forum.

I have a couple questions. Do you have a clear title on the trailer? I don't see a license plate on it. The other is more out of curiosity, The trailer is located in Santa Clara yet it's listed in Eugene, OR. What gives?

[oregonguy]

Santa Clara is part of Eugene...just the north tip of the city, absorbed years ago. As far as the liscence/title, no and no. My dad bought the teardrop back in the 70's and it's lived in Oregon it's whole life with us...in Oregon this trailer doesn't need to be licsenced...only bigger/heavier trailers do. Thanks for the interest....let me know if you need any other info.

[Kevin A]

Well that makes too much sense, who da thunk there would be a Santa Clara in Oregon.
Believe it or not, I knew about the trailer license thing in Oregon. Must have been suffering from half heimers or sumpthin.

I was hoping to sell this little beauty in this forum....but no luck, so to ebay it goes. Item number: 280238926003 if you want to check it out.
