ISBN: 9781586853525.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage and modern-day photographs and advertisements add depth to Silver Palaces: Americas Streamlined Trailers, a must-have book for this fall. It is historically significant for those who suffer from wanderlust, some fulfilled by owning and traveling with a \"silver palace,\" or perhaps owning an older model thats been rebuilt and refurbished.\nWith a simple, historical beginning, the streamlined trailer got its start. There were challenges in making mobile spaces for living-could anyone make a self-contained streamlined trailer complete with full hookups? After World War II, housecars and motorhomes were seen everywhere-a result of aluminum becoming available for trailers. Once these silver palaces were on the road, RVs and travel associations became popular . . . and well, the end of the highway was never in sight.\nDoug Keister has photographed fourteen award-winning, critically acclaimed books. His credits with Gibbs Smith, Publisher, include Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography and Classic Cottages: Simple, Romantic Homes as well as Fernandos Gift (El Regalo de Fernando), a Sierra Club Book for Children. Doug lives in Chico, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gibbs Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789459087413,"sku":"ByrdShop_158685352X","price":42.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781586853525_41e4aad3-6b96-4f86-95e5-a7c94f9a8bac.jpg?v=1784756964","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/silver-palaces-9781586853525","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
