hausdok Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Here's a photo I took at the Whatcom County Studebaker Classic Car Show on September 11th. The trailer is restored inside and looks exactly like it just rolled off the assembly line. Click to Enlarge 74.83?KB This is a Curtis Wright trailer. The guy who started Airstream had a tiff with his partners and went independent for a while and built these. Convoluted story, I was dozing off halfway through the guy's explanation of it but was able to remember the name because it was Curtis Wright that took over Studebaker-Packard in the late 50's and decided to shut down Packard after they'd carved off all of the military contracts from S-P for themselves. That's an even longer and more boring story that only Packard folks and Stude folks can listen to without dozing off. More photos at this link for anyone that likes to see photos of old cars.

John Kogel Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks, Mike. I see some unusual classics in those lineups. That International Travelall was built to haul a camper trailer, preferably an Airstream. I googled it and found sales ads of them doing that very thing. Farmers loved the Internationals. You could fix it with a screwdriver and a crescent wrench, eh? The '52 IH pickup I had for a while had more grease nipples than the teats on a herd of cows. You could empty a grease gun under there, even the spring shackles took grease. The clutch pedal linkage took grease. It had the 220 CI "Silver Diamond" six cylinder and you could start it with a crank. 1952. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericwlewis Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks for day three of having that song stuck in my head! You're welcome! The funny thing about that song is the line "is this the 50's or 1999". I'm sure in 1985 Huey thought 1999 was a long time away. I'm looking forward to 2015 when the hover board will be commonplace.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
