In 1992 I purchased a Stainless Steel 18 ft "Super Duty" trailer built new by Richard Feldman at Trailerworld in Bowling Green Ky. At that time the trailer was 3 years old with the original owner being Vette Vues Magazine who used the trailer to haul and show their 1963 Corvette Grand Sport.
The trailer was aluminum construction with Stainless Steel side panels and a 1 1/2 inch hardwood oak floor. A killer little enclosed car trailer that was VERY expensive new.
I owned this trailer for 21 years and the trailer never sat a day inside in its life. Last summer at a show someone backed into the front panel area damaging the trailer (hit & run). Almost $2K damage to the trailer to replace 2 stainless steel panels and 1 support spar.
Now here is where a HIGH END HIGH QUALITY trailer pays dividends. Last January I sold the trailer BACK to Richard (Trailerworld) DAMAGED for the same price I paid for the trailer 21 years ago!
High End High Quality used trailers in good condition always bring good money!
I understand Richard has replaced the 2 damaged panels on the front of the trailer and resold the trailer to a new owner.
Here is a picture of the Stainless Steel trailer during the Great Nashville Flood of 2010!
Another good reason for buying High End Used trailers!
