Trailerama

Photos, postcards, and ads featuring vintage trailers—from humble family vacations to Hollywood stars.

Trailerama provides a visual wonderland filled with imagery featuring these vintage vehicles, fondly recalled for their associations with fun, adventure, family vacations—and of course, movie stars on the set. From greeting cards to postcards to Hollywood photos, the travel trailer is put on grand display in this kitschy celebration culled from the coffers of Trailer Travel’s Phil Noyes.

“Filled with colorful images of trailers. Culled from ads, postcards, sheet music, and more, they run the gamut from the earliest mobile coaches in the 1930s to the roving behemoths that came to dominate the market in later decades…Noyes documents the country’s still smoldering love affair with life on the road.”—Los Angeles Magazine
