1961 Holiday House Camper
When I first saw the images above and below, I thought this camper had a boat-like nose. But it's just perspective, as the last image shows.
It looks like the first 2 pics may have been taken with a fish-eye lens which tends to bend and distort an image for a more panoramic view. What a sweet way to travel.
For some odd reason, I recall my parents discussing getting something like that. Why, I don't know, they made 2 trips in my youth - Chicago, and St. Louis.
Mid-Century dream trailer, when bean counters took a backseat to designers. You could picture this trailer hooked up to a 1961 Cadillac with its finned and skegged rear fenders or a 1961 two-tone Imperial with its stainless steel roof inserts. :) -Rj
Auch in Europa gab es ähnliche Wohnwagen. Caravaning wurde Ende der 1950er Jahre populär, als die europäische Wirtschaft boomte :) Die 1950er Jahre waren für meine Familie eine erfolgreiche Zeit : 1954 bekamen wir unseren ersten Fernseher, 1958 machten meine Großeltern eine Reise nach Hawaii und 1959 kaufte mein Vater einen Wohnwagen. Ein großer Teil des Verdienstes gebührt dem Marshallplan, der Europas Wirtschaft aufbaute. :) (vvs)
This is an awesome trailer. Luv it!

DeleteFantastic design. Makes me think of a stylized hornet. Nowadays' designer must wish they had the liberty their predecessors had.

ReplyDeleteMilleson - Fish-eye lens sounds about right.

Rj - I was lazily Googling the other day and ran across those roof inserts.
