The Mt Baker Vintage Trailer Rally is Big!: The Audio Field Guide to Vintage Trailers' podcast interview with organizer Rene Perret.

Planning an event is tough work. When that event includes over 200 vintage trailers it gets even trickier. Rene Perret, who co-owns Downriver Vintage Trailer Restoration with her husband Jeremy, talked with us about what it's like to plan Washington state's largest vintage trailer rally and why after taking it over three years ago she still comes back for more. Also, enjoy our first installment of Vintage Trailer Glossary Terms, where you'll learn that a canned ham is more than just what's for dinner. The Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally will be held on September 3-9 in Lynden, WA and requires no pre-registration, so...

Third rare Holiday House Geographic discovered in Utah: The Audio Field Guide to Vintage Trailers' podcast interview with Casey Kielbasa.

We recently received a message from Casey Kielbasa at our oops@vintagetrailerfieldguide email. We created this account as a place for our readers to inform us of any factual errors or oversights in the Field Guide that we should correct in future printings and editions.

But to our surprise, Casey wanted to let us know that we'll need to update the Holiday House history on page 150 of the field guide. We stated there are TWO known surviving Model X Geographics,...

The Field Guide's 1958 Cardinal trailer makes its second appearance at Pickathon

Photo by Deirdre Thompson The Pickathon music festival in Happy Valley, Oregon tapped us again to use our vintage trailer for this year's series of band interviews. The Field Guide to Vintage Trailers' corporate headquarters, aka "The Canned Ham," served as both a recording studio and backdrop for video interviews at the annual music fest. The vintage style of our Cardinal fit right into the scene that featured multiple stages tucked into various wooded settings, along with campsites for the many attendees that stay the duration of the multi-day event. Along with the interviews, director Patrick Weishample also shot this beautiful series of Polaroid portraits of artists Karma Rivera,...

Field Guide to debut at Modernism Week's Vintage Trailer Show

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. So we'll be hitching up the canned ham and trekking to Palm Springs with a pile of books to sell and autograph in person during the 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...
