Awesome T&C! Same color as my 76.. Love those hidden headlights very reminiscent of the 300's. Love to see more pics of it!
 
For those of you who may be interested in doing a restoration or even a refurbishing of some old travel trailer,here are some helpful videos.First is a full restoration of a 1958 DeVille Travel Trailer.......

This will give you a little knowledge of what is involved in restoring different items on your vintage trailer,from wood replacement,flooring,cabinet refinishing,and window refurbishing.You'll actually get to see what some of these trailers are made like,as they're taken done to the guts! There are many other videos available on Youtube,and probably elsewhere,on the restoration of vintage travel trailers such as Airstream,Shasta,and others.Enjoy the videos......

The guy I bought my Imperial from has a couple Shasta trailers like the one above. If I remember correctly, he said they're pretty rare, or at least the ones he has are. Something like a dozen were built before there was a factory fire, and they weren't produced again after the rebuild.
 
I'm not sure about production years on certain trailers,but I have seen Shasta Holiday House trailers that were built from 1960-62.Also not sure about production numbers and not even sure many trailer manufacturers even kept records of how many were produced back then,at least some companies anyway.Here's another Shasta Holiday House,this one's a 1960 being pulled by a 1959 Pontiac.1960-holiday-house-trailer-100.jpg
