In Pensacola, FL. I could go for this parked on a small piece of land.

The antithesis of the Lo Liner

Wow -- really spacious, in nice shape, and not a bad deal in the "tiny house" context -- if the roof doesn't leak.

 

At first I thought it was a custom piggy-back chop job, but it sounds like this was a legit model.

 

An instant getaway for sure if someone has some land to park it on.

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!

Prime Time manufacturing, a division of Forest River, makes a multi level trailer these days.

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.
