    I've seen cars with utility trailors made from Original Coke or Pepsi Coolers

    * How about pictures of other unique/custom made utility trailors!

    Here's a couple pics of the "utility trailer" my buddy built and towed behind his Deuce 3wd in the early '80s:

    I built one out of a round-top 50's refrigerator to pull behind my old t-bucket.

    Thanks!
    It worked pretty well, but it wasn't water-tight and started to rust out pretty quickly. I'd like to build another one like it with a few improvements to pull behind my Essex.

    How about the back half of a 54 Chevy 4 door as a trailer behind a 54 Chevy 2 door.
    I can't take credit for it, I bought the trailer along with the car. It seemed like such a cool combo I couldn't break up the pair when I bought the car :)

    Just a quick update. I've added a pic of the trailer with new tires and hubcaps. I need to get a pair of portowalls so it matchs the car a little better. Didn't have the cash to go with true white walls on the trailer.

    This is not for a car, but I built it to pull and match my Harley.

    I didn't build this one.It was actually manufactured in the late 40's early 50's(what I've been told) Its a single wheel:),and connects to your bumper with a two point mount.I originally bought it to redo and pull behind my model a.

    A glass Mullins is a very roomy trailer and tows really well.
    The pic is a chassis my friend made for his Mullins last year.
    The flanges in the front mount an old Presteel automobile trunk to stow blocks, jack, rope, towline, and other road and camping goodies.
    The frame is 2X2 thick wall tubing. The axle is a rubber-snubbed swing arm job.
    The trailer is finished now and will be towed behind either the Track Car or the 32 3W Coupe.

    Do you have any shots with this trailer opened up? The recycled patchwork aluminum is cool, and looks like a shiny leather bag.
