Mobile and Modular home directory (1972)

[partscounterman]

Dennis just won this book off of flEabay. I thought I would share some highlights here. I think mobile homes are cool, even though they have a bad "rep".

This one is tasteful.

Groovy interior and hair-do.

More '70's interior fashions

 

[partscounterman]

Old english interior (with Go-Go boots!)

 

[partscounterman]

Modern interior (with those darn Go-Go boots again!)

 

[partscounterman]

Here is a nice modular home

 

[partscounterman]

that "come hither" look

 

[partscounterman]

An unfortunate brand name-Style Mar indeed!

more interiors. The woman having breakfast with her hubby looks like she cannot wait to get him off to the office so she can fool around with the park maintenance man. Hubby looks like a goof...

The most tasteless for last...

The Bachelor III!

Thanks for posting these . . .

they're too much fun. I guess that "single wide and one half" model from Croydon is for those who aren't quite ready to move up to a real double wide. The Serendipity modular home isn't bad at all. The others are just fab, especially with the women in tall boots. I can just see avacado Lady Kenmore garage-door washer and dryer sets in the kitchen . . .

Fabulous outfits and hair.

but perhaps MOST fabulous, in the above pictures...........

Very interesting...

I have always found these interesting too. I haven't been in any newer mobile homes, but I have been in a few new modular style houses, and you would never know they were made in a factory and trucked in...

LOVE!!!!

I could only dream to have a place that looked like that on the inside.

Toggle - that's just wrong! "Can I get a Yee-Haw?" No.

Few of these look like they have room for a dishwasher in the kitchen, too bad they didn't sell dishwashers door-to-door.

These were never all that practical in this part of the country - too cold, but they were around. Wasn't there someone posting on the forums a while ago that was restoring a mid-50's model and looking for info on the original washer?

OMG

The Batchelor III is just FAB!!! The black tufted bar, plush shag carpeting, and that round bed are too much!
All thats missing is some lucite furniture!
