Found this on TheSamba.com: 40s aluminum phoenix one wheel trailer. this is a Phoenix one wheeler
trailer. it was built in the 40s. its in great shape with a new tire and comes complete with bumper clamps and is only missing one tail
light lens; but is easily replaced- its the same as a 39 chevy tail light lens. the aluminum is in good shape, it does have some dents and
dings but it can be smoothed out pretty easily with a little hammer work. it will polish up. it does have front and rear legs and is able
to be set up like a table. it does have one hole in the rear.

Good afternoon, I just bought this trailer a couple of days ago & was trying to find out some information on it and
came upon your website. The trailer appears to be the same make as yours, I own a sheet metal shop here in Joplin, Mo and I am planing
on restoring the trailer. I was just wandering if you have found out anymore information on the possible maker of it. This one only
has the brown paint on the inside of the lid, I don't know if someone has already removed some of the paint or if that is the only place
this one had it. Thanks, Brent

Found this on Craigslist: Here's a single-wheel trailer you don't see very often at all! I don't know much about it other than it's a
Phoenix trailer (I THINK) and there are probably less than 5 known to exist. This is number 6--I found a web site that says there may be
10...It's pretty solid but needs a make-over to restore it. The body is aluminum and steel. The shape of this single-wheel is very streamlined
and will really make you stand out at a show. There are a pair of original legs attached to the front & I think there should be a rear pair,
but there missing.It has the original cast aluminum wheel & tail lites ,along with the original trunk handle.

Found this advertised on The Samba. Phoenix Streamlined Single-wheel
trailer. Here's a single-wheel trailer you don't see very often at all! I don't know much about it other
than it's a Phoenix trailer and there are probably less than 10 known to exist. It's pretty solid but needs
a make-over to restore it. The body is aluminum and steel. The shape of this single-wheel is very
streamlined and will really make you stand out at a show. There are a pair of original legs that are
attached to the bottom and fold out to stand this trailer up about 2.5 feet high. The legs have smaller
wheels on them so the trailer can be rolled when up on the legs. Owned by Jeff

Hi, I was cleaning out a junk pile that the previous owner of my 106 year
old house had left behind and I found an old trailer. I started searching
on the internet and came across
your site. My trailer looks a lot like the one's you've identified as a Phoenix.
Single wheel, fold-up legs w/ caster wheels, really cool vintage tail light
housings. Thanks, Ruben Blanco Fort Collins, CO
