13 foot 1947 Teardrop walk in travel trailer,

I refinished this gutted trailer a few years back. It was good for the Hot Rod meets but its time to make room for some other projects soon to be in the works. Any ideas on what I can get for it? Its a 1947 built in Glendale Calif. I added the wings, round windows. and skirts. any ideas would be a great help. Im thinking that I would like to trade towards a pre smog FJ55. (1976 or older)

I don't really have any expertise, but I would think it would fetch a few thousand? I mean a complete kitchen and sleeping quarters... does it have heat? AC? Fridge?

Maybe a few more specs might help out. I would also check out a few of the teardrop forums out there for a closer market demographic.

cool looking trailer!

Its all 1947 with the exception of the microwave and stereo. Ice box, portapotty, 4 burner stove, sink with water on board. sleeps 4, but very basic.

The wings add at least, at least $1k. Any more interior pics? Does it have a manufacturer's name?

Too bad I didn't still have my '47 Studebaker, it would look cool behind it.

Funny, My kids hate the wings. They get so embarrsed when camping. They say it looks like a cartoon trailer. I guess you either love em, or hate them.
