History Add some insight to this fun pic

These were taken in Newbury, NH. That much I know for a fact. Anybody have any ideas on the car and trailer?

 

I thought I was the only guy that put matching wheels on my trailer. He looks to be a man of means.

 

"This bus has been tailgating the hell outta me all day"

That's all I got. An interesting set up, have more info? Maybe an airport or event shuttle?

 

Looks like the coupe was custom fitted with the gooseneck receiver. I bet that's a really high dollar rig.

 

Wasn't it Dick Landy who had a Dodge pickup pulling a 2-axle trailer with a Dodge Dart drag car; ALL with Cragar SS wheels?

And; b-t-w; all painted the same shade of blue?

 

Wonder if there is any kind of load leveler to keep the front wheels on the ground; hitch looks like pretty close to axle center line?

 

No guesses about the car, but the trailer looks like a Curtiss Aerocar. I saw one at the Harrah's museum back in '84.

 

Very cool set up with the trailer on that DODGE !!!

betcha the trailer is a Dodge as well

 

I think I saw a rig like that at the Nethercutt Museum several years ago.

 

Looks close?https://www.everything-about-rving.com/when-were-the-first-fifth-wheel-trailers-built.html

 

$5000 for a trailer in the 20/30s? Houses didn't cost that much.

 

That is cool as hell. Just like now, people use to have money then too. Lippy

 

wow, quite the setup. The bumper all the way around the fender is interesting.

 

Could you imagine if there was the internet back then?
I can’t recall how many “you need “xxxxx” to be able to tow that rig”.
As a side note, the gent in the first pic looks like he’s all business.

 

@SR100 got it

1932 Curtiss Land Yatch

 

There was one at Hershey a few years ago.

 

If there had been the internet back then, the world would have imploded by now!

 

That Curtiss Aero car looks pretty close. All I know is the pic was taken around Lake Sunapee in NH. Thanks for links.

 

Those are wild. The smaller cars pulling the land yachts seems a bit risky.

The below screenshot says they got the picture (looks like the same one) from coachbuilt.com, but I didn't find it.

Thanks for all the input.

 

My first thought on the first pictures was horse trailer.

 

Looks like a horse trailer for mothers-in-law.
