Spartan Crescendo

[kirsten350]

New to this forum, and looking for information. I have a '59 Spartan Crescendo. Interested in any information people have about this trailer!

Welcome to the Forums! I've not heard of a Crescendo...but I'm sure I'm not alone in that we'd LOVE to see pictures of yours! I love the Spartan Manors & Mansions...if a Crescendo is anything like those, they are so cool!

Here's a little info about the Crescendo. http://www.spartantrailer.com/crescendo.html

And a history of the Spartan company. The Crescendo is mentioned near the end. http://www.spartantrailer.com/history.html

50'? Wow! That's a long long trailer!!

Would love to see pics. Loved the curved living space, 2 bed/2bath configuration. Wow!!

Mine is currently surrounded by junk, and full of stuff too. I don't have interior photos right now, but a few exterior. I know they are really rare, and HUGE! The sister trailer is the Carousel, and it seems that more of those were made. I'm curious how many of these still exist, of were ever built.

Here are the few photos I have:

I am sure you realize that at 10' wide, it is not a travel trailer, but a park model only.

I think I saw one about 10 years ago at a mobile home dealer in Grand Coolie WA. It was impressively big.

Your 1959 must have been about the last of the Spartan's production.

It definitely isn't a weekender, that's for sure. It is easier to move than a singlewide trailer, but not something you would want to move more than a few times a year. Some states require a permit to move something that wide.
I cleaned it up and took more photos, so the Flickr page will have lots of new pictures by tonight!

I love it! It would make a great not-so-tiny tiny house - I don't think I'd ever want to tow it but it's fantastic. Love the curved living area!!

Thank you for providing soooo many pictures of that fantastic piece of Americana! What an awesome canvas to work with! That was built in my home town of Tulsa, OK.
I love the pink bathroom ( not really, but in an "I love retro stuff" kind of way )..... Definitely popular back in the day.

Was that a birdshot hole in the paneling?

Please do keep us updated on your adventure!

Just wondering if you still have the Crescendo and how restoration is going on it. I live in a 1957 Spartan Imperial Villa and love the large Spartans.

Would love to see more pictures if you've been able to begin restoration...
