Hello we have an unusual 1957 Shasta. It is a 1500, however it is a Shasta "Special", We have taken a picture of the original logo on the skin and would be glad to show it to anyone that wants to view it. We have been unable to find another one like it or even talk with anyone who has even heard of another one like it. It looks just like the 1500 however it is a bit smaller and does not have the side dinette windows. So glad we have another forum since the other closed!!

definitely pics and measurements. A 1500 without the "special" dinette windows would indeed be special! The 54 did not have the windows so maybe.....yours is really a 54? I have a 56 1500 with the windows.

Just curious if anyone happens to be following this thread anymore? I recently acquired a 1957 Shasta, in which I believe to be a Compact. However, like the OP, my logo also says "SPECIAL" on it. I will post pics as soon as I am allowed to, as you usually have to post so many times before you can post pics.

No minimum posts required for photos, but they must be hosted on an external site, like flikr or google photos, and linked in to this forum. I would really be interested in seeing. Shasta did not make the Compact model until the 1960 model year, though there are some that seem to have been documented as 1959 models. The theory is they were being manufactured in '59 to be new for 1960 and were released through dealers and titled in '59.

I have a 57 Shasta as well. It's got the typical front dinette/back bed and is fairly small.
A compact would have a front kitchen/little side closet and a dinette/bed combo in the back. Not the most popular floor plan because the table has to go up and down once a day.
