Those Wonderful Shasta Wings!!

These are not my trailers even those someday I would love to have more winged beauties.  I just love the concept of the wings as being so aerodynamic that they made the trailers easier to pull.....  So cutting edge in trailer technology.  The wings remind me of the wings on either side of "Mercury's" cap... god of speed....

I have several Shastas, but someone had removed the wings before I purchased them.  I know that I could buy some, but it never quite seems to be in the budget.  I'm sure there was a time when they seemed goofy and old fashion, so many owners removed them.  It's funny what now becomes iconic.  The wings are Shasta trailers Now.... Long Live the Wings!!!

Put Bisbee Arizona's Vintage Trailer Park on your bucket list...

 it's on mine.  

Part of the fun of vintage trailers is the great "stuff" you can use to decorate them with.  I love vintage and it's the perfect excuse to buy more stuff for the trailers....

Vintage Trailers:

Take your Vintage Trailer to A Flea Market or

to the State Fair... It's so All American.

It's winter here in Iowa with 7 " on the way tonight....

I'm dreaming of a sunny warm summer night when I can play in my little trailers...

Stay Warm and Safe...

Vintage Travel Trailer Party

 

 

Welcome to Nancy's Vintage Trailers....

 

Several Years ago I held a party with my vintage trailers .

 

It's so great how the popularity of vintage trailers have taken off.  I'm hoping this summer to get my little vintage trailer park back to it's glory days so I can have another party.  Iowa winters are hard on my little babies, but a large metal building never seems to be in the budget.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog...

I'm hoping to post more this year.

 

 

I would love to hear from you

Baby It's Cold Outside Time for a Movie... The Long Long Trailer!!

Winters here in Iowa are really cold and long. Not the best weather for camping, but my love affair with vintage trailers still remains strong, especially after curling up by the fire and watching a video of a great vintage trailer movie ...The Long Long Trailer staring Lucille Ball and Dezi Arnez.

It's absolutely charming. It' classic Lucy in her hay day!! If you haven't seen this great classic you've got to put it on your list.

The New Moon was an actual trailer that was sold in the 50's and featured in the movie. These are some of the brochures from the trailer.

Let me know how you like the show!!!
