Indian Trailers History Made in Chicago, Illinois
Produced in late 1930s and until the mid 50s
During the early years of the mobile home, production was concentrated in the Midwest. In 1942, Illinois ranked fourth among mobile home-producing states. Chicago was the center of the Illinois mobile home industry. Two of the largest early producers were the Glider trailer company and the Indian Trailer Corporation.
Models:
35ft Super Chief
28ft Chieftain
24ft Warrior
The ornament was mounted on their Cheiftan model trailer, made around
1948 to around 1955. It may have been on other models. However, some sellers have vintage ads for sale featuring pictures of the
ornament in ads for the 1948 Indian travel trailer. Another seller has
an ad for a 1955 Indian trailer which clearly shows the ornament mounted
on the top center front area of the trailer's roof.
