57150 those are some rad looking trailers, any clue on who owns them?

INDIAN RIVER, ONT

Yes, but I don't know if the elderly owner would ever part with them....a familiar story.

Gearhead · ELORA, ONT

I want to build a teardrop trailer like that one of these days - clamshell design with the kitchen at the back under the hatch

Came across these while car hunting.....

I would be all over the first one and the second one look alien like.

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

I would love to get that....looks like a Boler or Trillium, but with big windows

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

This is my 1976 GMC 26' motorhome. It is powered by an Olds 455 and is front wheel drive.

This was taken last October down on the Keys in Florida.

rodmaster · HAMILTON, ONT

i sure like those older rvs, the tandem axle on the rear is koollllllll......... my rv is a 76gmc also......

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

The tandem axle gives you more room inside and the front wheel drive eliminates the driveshaft, so the whole unit sits lower. I love them.

INDIAN RIVER, ONT

Another from the same place....

workin class · FINCH, ONT

If those trailers go up for sale let me know I am interested in the first two. I am a R.V. tech and may be opening a R.V. restoration shop in the future. I am going to be looking for Restore able single axle trailers up to 20 feet. We have a trailer so we can haul them away.

INDIAN RIVER, ONT

Will do.

We are restoring a 1970 BlueBird Wanderlodge 35' pusher. It originally came with a 534 Ford Industrial gas engine, we have a 5.9L Cummins and an Allison 3060 6 speed auto in it now. Another year or so and I hope to have it finished and on th road smile

I have been wanting to build a tear drop trailer for years. This one is has got a nice shape to it. Condition though looks questionable.

That is a really nice looking unit, where do you get a windshield for something like that?

workin class · FINCH, ONT

I just started a vintage trailer group on Facebook so if anyone is interested sign up we will see if it goes anywhere.

henrys57wagon · WOODLAWN, ONT

I am pretty sure that is a Flxible bus (no "e"). The vintage is possible late 40's, early 50's. They are very cool. Google Flxible, you will see lots of nicely restored examples
