The trailer was owned by the inventor of that trailer Hawley Bowlus & in the doorway is his wife Ruth, she passed away several years ago. It’s a very rare trailer only about 200 were made, that model is called Roadchief & they made a smaller model called Papoose which is super rare. My cousin and his friend have 2 Roadchiefs & 1 Papoose’s. they were made in 1935 only for 2 years, these trailers were the incentive of Wally Byam to manufacture the Airstream which he started prodution in 1936. That car is made in Czechoslovakia very cool design for its time, the car is easy to obtain, but looks good visually with the Bowlus trailer. This photo is a house car that was designed by Brooke Stevens a contempary with Raymond Lowry & the trailer is the only one known its a Hollywood Nomad from 1935, both need restoration but rare pieces.
Are these trailers tailor made for an Ed Wood film, or what?
