1956 Spartan Spartan Royal Manor 42T, Your chance to own a piece of nostalgic RV Americana is finally here! Referred to as the ⿿Cadillac of trailers,⿝ the 1956 Spartan Royal Manor 42T was born of the history-making Spartan Aircraft Company and was the latest in aerospace engineering from the last century. It is in amazingly original condition: original appliances, fixtures and finishes, large windows, ingenious storage, and other mid-century modern details, it⿿s like a time machine--but its solid construction and celebrated pedigree makes it more than that. Spartan Aircraft, founded in 1928 in Tulsa, OK by William G. Skelly, and subsequently acquired by J. Paul Getty in 1935, the Spartan reputation for performance and opulence never wavered. Spartan entered the war effort during World War II, producing a military version of one of their models in the ⿿Zeus.⿝ When the war ended, a beefed up post-WWII Spartan factory made Getty ponder where he was going to take the company next. Dabbling with new airplane prototypes and a new type of automobile, came the idea of a radically designed travel trailer. Employing the principals of the technique known as monocoque fuselage design that gives a great amount of strength with very little added weight, plus the great need for housing after the war, decided Getty that trailer manufacturing would be the way for Spartan to go; and it did until 1962. No expense was spared when Spartan built their trailers⿿obsessed with the highest quality and sleekest design, the Spartan Manor was roughly ½ the price of a brand new home in 1956! Flash forward to today and the nicest part of this story is that it is one of our best deals and you can now own a piece of the transportation splendor of America⿿s past, but don⿿t wait too long; this lovely blast from the past won⿿t be at our dealership forever!
