Teardrops and Tiny Trailers

Teardrops and Tiny Trailers

“Gasp at their gumption; admire their ingenuity. It takes a special breed of travel aficionado for ”Teardrops and Tiny Trailers.” Popular during the 1940s and ’50s, these vintage tow-alongs are specialty items: kicky to restore and decorate, impractical to maintain. A new hardcover by Douglas Keister offers a colorful peek inside.” (Birmingham News )

“It’s a fun book, and clear that tiny trailers are nothing less than portable personalities.” (Chico Enterprise-Record )

“Take a retro ride through the ’30s and ’50s with this picture book that focuses on teardrops and other vintage trailers, often shown with period vehicles.” (Arizona Republic )

“Virtually every page is colorfully illustrated with historic teardrops and, notably, the interesting vehicles used to tow them. His text is not without its charms as well. Mr. Keister throws in interesting little facts with each section. He notes, for instance, that the shiny aluminum Airstream-style trailers had their origins in aircraft design. Like these little trailers, he packs a lot of content in a compact package. And like the teardrops, the book is a little gem.” (New York Times )

5 Stars Cool little trailers!
Bought this book a few months ago and have looked through it at least a dozen times. It’s on my nightstand and every time I open it there seems to be some little detail I missed the times before. It’s totally amazing what people with some wood and a little imagination can come up with! A great book to get if you’re looking for ideas for your little trailer, as I was. A fabulous gift for your “tinkerer.”

4 Stars Teardrops
There has been a good amount of effort to photograph the various teardrops and smaller trailers. In most photos there is also an older vehicle, which, while interesting to car colectors, does reduce the amount of written text on the main subject.

This book is a very good item for those interested in the teardrop and smaller trailers and is a wonderful addition to a collectors library.
