(More customer reviews)Remember all those mobile home monstrosities that used to roam the highways in the 50's and 60's? The ones with all the fancy "space-age" angles and windows? Well, not all of them ended up being recycled as Toyotas and Bob Moore has done a yeoman's job of finding examples of them (or their remains) all over the place in the Southwest.
Bob photographed each one and then researched what they looked like when they were new, using original materials from (many long-defunct) manufacturers. As you go through the book, the left-facing page shows an advertisement for a new copy of the trailer and on the right-facing page is Bob's photo of the derelict. It makes you laugh, shake your head, and generally ponder the mortality of all things on this good earth.
The last part of the book contains trailer advertisements of many kinds including split-level designs and other innovations. Accessories are also featured in this section.
Bob's text - like all of his writing - is humorous as well as insightful, and is scattered throughout the book. You will not be disappointed.
