A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Caravans are cool! OK, these recreational vehicles are a little more elaborate than your average caravan in Bognor Regis...Celebrities are embracing the motorhome as a luxurious and fun way to take a break - features the homes of celebs from Howard Hughes to Ken Kesey. These are motorhomes like you have never seen them before! What do Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Mae West, Howard Hughes, John Madden, the Partridge Family, Ken Kesey, The Who, and Barbie have in common? Each had a home on wheels - be it an old converted school bus, a massive RV cruiser, or elegant house car. These celebrity motorhomes are only the frosting on the cake in Douglas Keister's entertaining and informative new book "Mobile Mansions". From the eclectic to the exquisite, the luxurious to the rare, Keister's "Mobile Mansions" showcases the history and diversity of some of the most historic and lovingly restored RVs on the road today. Keister documents an amazing range of vehicles, including small camp cars from the 1920s, house cars from the 1930s, campers from the 1950s and finally modern-day motorhomes that first emerged in the 1960s. "Mobile Mansions" details this fascinating chapter of America's history with lively text, luscious full-color photographs, rare vintage photographs and offers a concise history of the recreational vehicle.
