Like the seller, I like a few of those Airstreams, but there's a lot more to discover. Lawrence, thanks for posting - I would haven't looked closer to discover
there were other double/triple deckers. Check out the link! CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK |

Wonder what owners would have used to pull one of these houses on wheels back in 1956?
The largest engine in a domestic car that year was Packard's 374 cubic inches, and it would have taken all of that to get across the Rockies I would think. 9100 pounds according to one of the ads. Still, you never know. |

Over a certain size, even back then, professional towing would have been required.
In "The Long, Long Trailer", Nicky and Taizee (sp) pulled their New Moon with a Mercury. However, in some of the shots they actually substituted a Lincoln for pulling the trailer. I'm thinking "the" trailer was something like 40 feet, and was a one-bedroom. When I was a kid an aunt and uncle of mine were trailerites and they had a 40-something-feet long 2 bedroom coach. They might have pulled it themselves but I don't think they did, even after they bought a 1955 Buick Special. lawrence |
