6/24/2023 0 Comments Bantam trailer for sale![]() ![]() I discovered an interesting story behind this trailer.Īfter the war and the end of the Army contracts, the American Bantam Car Company tried to stay in business by selling its T3 trailers to the civilian market. Once home I dove into the internet to figure out what I had. I took the back roads and side streets and made it home without incident. I promised to call him to let him know when I arrived safely at home. I ignored all the red flags that argued for passing it by and told the man I would haul it away. It was perfect for what I was looking for and the price was right. He hoped it would go to someone who would appreciate it and fix it up. When he died it passed to his son, the current owner. His father had acquired it in the early 1950s and had used it for fishing and hunting trips. The trailer had been in the owner's family since almost new. The coupler was bent from the owner's son jack-knifing the trailer trying to back up. There were also a few rusted holes in the floor, which was badly dented. Why was it free? The owner said the wheels were rusted on so severely that the badly deteriorated tires could not be replaced. ![]() I have learned over the years that many free gifts are too expensive to accept- but more about that later. This ad caught my eye both for the trailer and for the price: FREE.
