The inspiration for this 1956 Cardinal came from a bold fabric pattern found during a visit to a Pendleton store. That same design was used to create the custom vinyl stripe that circles the trailer. After the trailer was professionally painted by an auto body shop, the vinyl pattern was applied to the exterior siding for a clean, finished look.
The design was also scaled down to create matching decals for the propane tanks, helping carry the theme beyond the body of the trailer. Inside, the same inspiration continues, tying the unconventional restoration together from the exterior to the interior.
This trailer is a good example of how professional paint and custom decals can work together to create a striking, personal finish.
