Trailer craze revives pioneer spirit at auto shows
A 1937 trailer boom is described as the era's hit at New York and Chicago auto shows. The piece traces origins from Joe Doakes style garages to hundreds of trailer plants mainly in Southern Michigan, with about 60 percent sold through auto dealers. Trailers range from basic tent-on-wheels to luxury "land yachts" with beds, kitchens, air conditioning, and radios. Demand skews toward retirees and nomadic travelers, and production is expected to surge to hundreds of thousands as Americans embrace mobile living.
