I agree!
This a serious contender for those Vintage Trailer meets.

What is with the rear window guard? It almost looks as though it folds into a table.

Love the 1930s design elements. Wonder if it is original to that time period?

Looks like a luggage rack to me. :thinking:

I think the trailer looks really cool, wouldn't mind owning it myself. :thumbsup:

Look's like a "Rat Rod" camper. It sure would look nice behind a 32 Hi-boy or some other rat rod.

That trailer is gorgeous and yes the price is very low for a classic in that good a condition even if it needed work done on it.

When I first looked at Pete's link I thought "how would I strip off all the camouflage paint" then I realized it was reflections in the mirror bright finish. Doh!
Sure is pretty.

I thought exactly the same thing. Amazing how well a highly polished trailer will blend with its surroundings.

Hey guys thats my trailer! I know its a year late but I was surfing the web and did a search for weird trailers and my trailer popped up which led me to this site. If any one is still interested it was built in 1947 by the Aluminum Trailer Co. in Glendale Ca. I got it gutted and played around on it while going through a divorce to keep me occupied. I made the port hole windows, wings, and those yukky fender skirts. LOL I just winged it and had fun doing it. I hasn't been out in years as it gets too much attention. I cant take it anywhere without folks knocking on the door asking to see inside. Oh and yes that is a luggage rack / shelf to hold the ice coolers while camping. Here are a few more pics of it just for the record.
