Description
A TRUE FRAME-OF RESTORATION OF A VINTAGE CALIFORNIA, BORN AND RAISED, CAMPER FROM THE FIFTIES. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE GREAT TRAILERS THAT ARE SUPER EASY TO TOW WITH A SMALLER MOTOR CAR AS IT WEIGHS IN AT AROUND 2200 POUNDS. IT IS 14' LONG (16 1/2 FT.INCLUDING TONGUE), 8" TALL AND 7' 2" IN WIDTH. IT TOWS LIKE A DREAM BECAUSE THE TONGUE WEIGHT IS 280 LBS. IT IS SURPRISINGLY 'HUGE' INSIDE AND SELF-CONTAINED WITH PROPANE AND ELECTRIC CAPABILITIES, ALL REFURBISHED AND INSULATED.
IT SLEEPS 3-4 COMFORTABLY WITH A LARGE REAR BED TO THE LEFT AND A DINETTE THAT MAKES INTO A SMALLER BED TO THE RIGHT. THERE'S PLENTY OF STORAGE SPACE AND A HANGING CLOSET AS WELL. IT IS DESIGNED FOR OCCUPANTS TO STAND UP FULLY WITH PLENTY OF HEADROOM ABOVE. MANY OF THE WINDOWS CARRYING SCREENS BUT, THE CAMPER IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A 'FANTASTIC' FAN THAT HAS A REVERSE CYCLE TO PURGE THE INTERIOR AIR. UNDERGOING AN EXPENSIVE RESTORATION: THE NEW BRIGHTSIDE, POLISHED, CORROGATED ALUMINUM THAT IS ESSENTIALLY 'CARE FREE'.
THE ORIGINAL ALL BIRCH INTERIOR WAS PRESERVED AND REFINISHED IN IT'S ORIGINAL COLOR AND ALL MATERIALS WERE REPLACED BY MODERN GRADE FABRIC. KEEPING WITH TRADITION THE DIXIE STOVE AND MARVEL FRIDGE APPLIANCES WERE LEFT AND COSMETICALLY RESTORED. TYPICALLY, THE FOLKS THAT BUY THESE 'SHOW' THEM AND RETAIN AS MUCH OF THEIR ORIGINALITY AS POSSIBLE. OTHERS USE THEM ARE ARE "THE TALK OF THE CAMPGROUND OR TRAILER PARK " AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE.
DESPITE THE FACT THE LINOLEUM FLOORING WAS RESTORED WITH NEW... THE AQUA COLORS WERE KEPT ORIGINAL EVEN DOWN TO THE BOOMERANG PATTERN MICA COUNTER AND TABLE TOPS. WE HAVE ADDED ORIGINAL FIFTIES CANNISTERS TO MATCH, WOODEN BLINDS, COLOR MATCHED PILLOWS AND PERIOD ARTWORK. "CUTE AS A BUTTON" MAY HAVE BEEN A FIFTIES TERM BUT, IT CERTAINLY FITS THIS GREAT LITTLE CAMPER. WANT TO TURN HEADS AT THE CAR SHOW- YOU FOUND YOUR VEHICLE..... A GREAT ART DECO TRAILER. 'STIMULUS' PRICED AT ONLY $14,500.(more pix @ www.classicdreamcars.com) |
