Robin Hood Popcorn

I like reading books about the history of odd subjects.  Whether gum, beer , milk or salt, if it is a history about something food related, I want to read it.   A few years ago I read a fun little book about the history of popcorn called Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America by Andrew Smith.  I was surprised to learn how many different kinds of popcorn there are, having grown up on the basic non-branded yellow variety.  So, when I spotted this article about popcorn trailers that were pulled by Willys Wagons, I thought it was interesting.  Below you can see the trailers built by Clyde Gould, see one of two wagons that pulled them, and learn about his attempt to create a popcorn business.  Unfortunately, the article doesn’t indicate how successful he was or what happened to the trailers.

UPDATE:  **Status Unknown** Was listed at $7000

(06/29/2012) This looks good.  I can’t tell if the passenger side is a little discolored or if it is just the light and a reflection.

Interior upholstered and repainted… 6 cylinder motor is very strong and transmission is excellent as well as all window and door rubber and tires..This very sought after 1952 willys can be driven anywhere. Other rare features are the barn doors on the back and all glass is perfect..selling several cars from my estate so watch craigs list for others”

This looks like a good price based on the pics.  And, if it runs, it’s a really good price.
