Some interesting custom built trailers on here (no 57 Fords yet though).

I'm sure somewhere on this planet, someone has built a 57 Ford trailer.

I found this a while back. 1958 Retractable with a matching trailer.

  Someone put a lot of work into the trailer for the 58 retractable.
  That black custom is beautiful.  When those Customs are black, they are beautiful.  You will never see me towing a trailer with mine though.

My dad has a 1958 Scottie tear-drop trailer he pulls behind his 1958 turquose/whiteRetractable.  My parents have done the Route 66 Tour through New Mexico a few times in the last couple years with the combo.   They even sleep in the trailer and park at some of the vintage RV parks along old Route 66.

Jeff, I like the fender emblems on the black 300, I think Ford should have put engine badges on the 57's like they have done for so many other years.

there was the back half of a 2 door 57 wagon for sale on Craigslist that was tempting me, figured it could easily be made into a poor mans camper.

Even cooler is the pedal car on the car trailer to the left.

I missed that peddle car and had to go back to look for it.  Cool

I not only missed the pedal car, I missed the 5 other '57's in the pic. So that's 5 + 1/2 + 1/4 =
5 3/4 '57's. Tom..I gotta give you a hard time..all that work on the trailer and the license plate is tied on with yarn.

Come on guys that is not yarn,but high teck. wire ties. A member of this site just sent me a Lic.Plt. bracket, so I will be looking good next year. I also make the fiberglass body for the 57 pedal car if any one is interested. Tom

    OH OH........It looks like I just crossed Tom.  Now I might as well kiss goodbye to that unslotted 14"rim that I was waiting to hear about.   Am I going to get kicked of the site too?
