My hubs and I lived in this same model mobile home in a park in Huntington beach, California. We loved it and lived there until our son was old enough he needed his own bedroom. My mom was gutted when she heard we were going to live in a mobile home park until she came to visit then she was hooked! Across the highway from the beach, wonderful neighbors and the mobile home was gorgeous. It was everything.
Best trailer ever made before Hude changed the standards we love that you have saved it all like it was People think new is better but it is not .Thank You for sharing
Just saw our first Spartan Carousal in person. Outstanding styling and functionality. Of course, it is HUGE, so not for camping. This would easily transition a person from “trailer trash” to “trailer royalty”. In the process of buying our first Spartan, a 1946 Manor. It’s serial number (there were no VINs back then, only serial numbers) indicates it was likely built the same month I was born. Spartans had the best overall styling of the “silver bullet” (with a very few exceptions). Great looking Carousel.
This fills me with nostalgia. I lived in a 1959 Marlette when I was in graduate school. The trailer was cute, complete and cheap for a college student. I have nothing but warm fuzzy memories of it. (and I have a degree)
This "Spartan" is anything but! 😁 I've never seen an in-wall oven in a trailer before. Vintage is very refreshing, after so many years of monochrome modern.
Had the opportunity to buy one identical to this one for $800 about 23 years ago. It was being used as a storage shed on a farm. Other than needing some major cleaning and some light cosmetic stuff, it was in excellent original condition. Still kicking myself today for not jumping on it, especially when I see something like this.
So well kept. I’m sure this was gone (sold) in seconds flat. I already have a 25’ Spartan but I want a Carousel SO bad. Unfortunately they are hard to come by at any price.
What is the pink object above the oven at 1:54? Love the kitchen, round countertop and pink appliances! This '60 model looks extremely well built. I think mobile homes from the '40s to the mid-'60s were well-built, with marine-grade wood, strong steel and aluminum and good quality control!
Just recently bought a property. I was looking for a treasure, but didn’t find anything and all along. This trailer was standing there. Me and my family wanna restore it to a 90% original
Cute retro home..love the pink kitchen sink and appliances and pink bathroom too..not fond of the dark panelling in the bedroom though..way too dark in there..
All Spartan trailers were made by an airplane company and they're all riveted and everything really well and they're all aluminum and insulated re roewell they're actually better than an air stream
