Retro Futuristic

What was avant guarde in our forgotten past is now the optimism that is missing from our future

This is a 1946 26ft distressed trailer built in Tulsa OK.  Distressed it still has many of the qualities of built to endure.  At times we need to view these qualities in a distressed mode to value its meaning.

As per some of the included photos, it was owned by the Barton Family here in S.I. NYC.  Mrs. Barton who is the woman captioned in various photos, had an interesting life.  I noticed a photo central to her home of a couple riding an Motorcycle circa 1940"s.  It turns out it was her on a 1946 Indian Motorcycle with her then boyfriend to be life husband.
