Feature Trailer WORDS & PICS LISA MORA Every once in a while a trailer comes along that just stays in your memory forever. Blue’s “Schwing (Serial No.1)” teardrop truly is such a work of art that when I first saw it hooked up to its very special tow car it was one of those “Oh WOW” moments I will never forget. Built as a labour of love by a guy that insisted on being called just “Blue” and his good friend Larry Stills, the teardrop was four years in the making with Blue admitting he had never even seen a photograph of any other teardrop trailers until he was halfway through the project! Creating the trailer entirely from the figments of his own imagination led to some quirky features such as the rounded door and curved rear with recessed licence plate. 12 | vintagetrailermagazine
