Looking for a way to keep his workers busy during the January to July “Off Season,” David Holmes, president of “Harry & David” (mail-order fruit baskets and gifts) decided to have them produce a new travel trailer with a modern design. Straying from the usual “canned ham” look of the day, the design was very progressive and “space age” with googie style elements. Though they were ultra-stylish and very well made, the trailers were priced higher than the competition. Only 200 were produced beginning in 1959 with operations ending in 1962.

"Googie Style" yeah... Love the style and the word sounds cool too. That whole dot pointed star pattern is really neat.
Gosh, it's so very... pink.
How else does one attract the neighborhood children without a candy colored house?
