We are very excited to announce that not only is The Illustrated Field Guide to Vintage Trailers on schedule to launch in conjunction with Modernism Week 2019, our 1958 Cardinal has also been accepted to be part of the Vintage Trailer Show.

We hope to be in the company some of the many trailers we've photographed in California for the book over the last few of years. We shared and explained the field guide using a few sample...
