Description

In 1939, Don Boles, an enthusiastic young Californian, was one of the first candidates chosen for a four-year tool and die program under FDR’s New Deal initiative. He worked at the Lockheed Aircraft Company in Burbank, California learning all aspects of aircraft design and construction. After WWII, Boles and his wife began constructing high-quality travel trailers and their business flourished for over 30 years. Today, these rare trailers are highly prized by collectors. This is an extremely early example that features a dining table, sink, stove, bed, and variety of cabinets. In static storage for many years, returning this rare trailer to the road would make a fun and rewarding project.

*Please note that this Lot, like all vehicles in this Auction, has been in long-term static storage and may not be currently operational. It will require mechanical attention prior to any road use.
