This is our 1957 Shasta, this photo was taken at Pine Mountain,Georgia. HRP The story behind the name is it was used for a hunting and the camper has numerous small dents from buckshot and our last name is Berry,hence the name "Buckshot Berry", the pinstriped was done by Casandra Hicks and the camper was restored/customized by Steven McGraw and he decided he needed a bigger camper so I purchased it. The full length door. The ice box got stripped also. 60 Buick tail lights. Most of the comforts of home. And we have heat & air, and it works like a champ.HRP
Adding my Spartan to the mix. Very excited Ryan picked up a camper and hope he benefits the same as my family does. I't helped us from "another car project" burn out.
View attachment 3882892 I'll play..... here's a picture the '64 (or 65) Scotty Sportsman I picked up over the winter, needs a complete rebuild but it is very original, very complete and was very cheap. I found it a couple miles south of the Canadian border. I plan on painting it to match our 53 Custom Catalina. View attachment 3882892
Excellent examples! Here is our 1959 Ranchero, 1960 F100 and our 1960 Platt Travel Trailer. We are having the trailer fully restored in late July. Enjoy the vintage trailer shows.
That Spartan is a stunner , I had a Starliner (1960) fiberglass top , alloy lower sides , bloody cold in the winter , sold it , now I carry my camper
I have to admit this is one good looking camper and the pickup w/t the camer top ain't bad ether. HRP
These things are friggin’ awesome!!...I’ve been looking for one to tow behind my ‘50 or ‘51.... Great pics!!..... Mark
This is our '51 Ford and our '61 TrailorBoat camper at the 50th reunion in San Rafael CA in 2011 plus a few of the others that showed up. San Rafael is were they were made in 1961-1963 or so. We believe there were as few as 150 made. We were also a part of the May Madness car show in 2011 and 2012. We did a 51st reunion as well. Dave
Gary,there probably is but I can't think of any subject that doesn't have multiple threads but since this subject is considered off topic on the main board and Ryan created this heading for threads like this,I don't see any problem with it. HRP
10-4... this is the one I've always followed. Gary https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/old-campers-lets-see-what-you-got.368140/
Chris, that Manor is spectacular. I have been looking for one for about 10 years now. Hard to come but up in Canada.
Here is a couple of my teardrop. Not totally vintage, but has the flavor. Its based on a 47 Benroy but built 1 foot wider for comfort. Has reproduction Kit fenders. It hauls like a dream. Runs about 720 lbs. when I am loaded and on the road. Cannot think of a better way to travel.
Here's a freakish little thing. The world's shortest travel trailer at just 4-feet long. Has a sink and fridge and sleeps a 6-footer comfortably. Tow vehicle is a 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite wagon with 426 Hemi. We'll be at the All-American Vintage Trailer Rally in Brooks, Oregon on July 4th weekend, stop by and say hi if you get a chance: www.all-american-rally.com
