Yep - the likely paint plan will have the blue on the rear/side upper areas with a yellow on the stripe. Get a thread going with image of your HH's. How the hell did you get two of them? Nicely done!

haha, when we were looking we contacted a number of people who had them asking if it was for sale. Then we responded to a person's question of "is there interest in these trailers?". This post was about 1 year old but we responded and they said they had one and would sell it to us. It is 1962 and in very good original condition.It must have been a later one built as the eyebrow along the top is metal and not fiberglass like the 1960 17ft is and yours as well. The front window curtain is similar to a newer one with a pull cord to open and close the drapes. The second one is a 1960 17ft, that person contacted us a few months later after we purchased the first one and said they were ready to sell. We could not pass it up as it was just sitting there.But this one needs a fair amount of work.
We were contacted by a person who worked in the body shop at the Holiday House factory. He told us they used to call the bump out area in the front just below the front window the Jane Mansfield.
How did you do the curved windows in the front? flat lexan and curved into place? I have heard of a person who molds them over a buck so the are formed before they are fitted into the frame.

Wow - you really scored on finding yours - I scoured the internet for a few years before finally finding one much less two!
The front curved plexiglass on mine was done by the guy that heats it over a form - he's in California if I recall. Does pretty nice work but about $1300 including high shipping costs to get two done. You send him the aluminum frames and he sends you back the completed windows. I've been told by a reliable source that you can cold bend flat lexan and make it work if you're up for the challenge. I was up to my eyeballs in tons of other work at the time and took the easy way out but I'd probably give the cold bend lexan a try if I had to replace a broken one now.

Shortly after we got the second one we found a 3rd one but it was too pricey for us. I will try the windows myself when I get to that point. Mine are still intact with just some small crazzing going on with them. My front window needs to come out to do some repair work and to pull the eyebrow off to paint.
