HISTORY of the WWll Returning Soldiers new homes...The Spartan Trailer was born
When the US got involved in W.W.II the patriotic Getty immediately tried to enlist. He went to the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, in Washington DC. Secretary Knox told Mr. Getty that his greatest help would be in the Management of his Company Spartan Aircraft to help with the production of Airplanes and parts for the War.
Getty came to Spartan in February of 1942 and fully threw himself into the operation of running a airplane manufacturing plant. Spartan received a contract to build Navy trainers the Spartan NP-1 The Fuselage was welded chrome moly steel tubing, and fabric covered. This was there only wartime commission for a complete plane although they made many components, which were used on other war contract planes such as Gruman, Lockhead and Curtiss.
At the end of the W.W.II the Spartan factory was beefed up due to wartime production. Getty had to decide where he was going to take the company next. The company needed a product that could marketed to a large audience. His engineers were busy with several exciting projects. A 5-passenger airplane prototype was completed and flown, its performance surpassed expectations and would be the best plane the company had ever built. In addition to this new plane they were also working on a new type automobile and a radically designed travel trailer.
Due to the war the competition in airplane manufacturing had risen greatly. Along with the fierce competition in new aircraft, top management figured the cost in dollars and length of time before their new plane design could be in production and producing supply for inventory would be to great an expense. As far as automobile manufacturing went the cost of retooling would be out of the question and this was too much of a departure from what they new best.
With the great need for housing after the war Getty determined that trailer manufacturing would be the way to go. The first prototype was made in the summer of 1945 using aircraft design similar to the Spartan Executive without much concern for other trailer design of the time. More on the history of the prototype. They were out to produce the best product on the market. Using building techniques and designs that they had mastered in the aircraft building industry. By mid 1945 the pilot model shown below had been completely road tested and a small production run of 100 was scheduled. G.R. Schutes, a designer of national reputation, had been hired to give the trailers a modern look incorporating many deco design elements.

True to there intent Spartan spared no expense on these trailers. Manufactured to the highest quality and sleekest design employing the monocoque building technique used in airplane manufacturing, they were truly the "Cadillac" of trailers. When we compare the price of a brand new home in Levittown for under $8000 including the land the 25 foot Spartan Manor at close to $4000 was rather expensive. The first models rolling off the production line in the mid 40's to early 50's could be considered true travel trailers in every since with the largest reaching around 35 feet long. As the interstate highway system began to come into existence things would change. The company started making much larger trailers, or homes as Spartan preferred to call them. They were furnished in the latest of styles from couches to window coverings.
Someone really took care of this trailer indeed. I love it. And I love this kind of tour. No talking, and I love the music!
