That's a tough question.  I'm just in from spending another 6 hours this 
morning of rebuilding the windows on the latest project, the 1957 Flying 
Cloud.  About 60 hours down another 180 to go.....

What I'm saying, is after 47 years, everything is going to be in bad 
shape unless it has been maintained and used every season for that last 
47 years.  The best you can hope for is an "arrested state of decay" 
that can serve as a starting point for a restoration.  Unless you want 
to make every trip you take a living nightmare, there are very few 
vintage trailers that are ready to go with just a little clean-up.

And, I have only seen a few 1950's trailers (those annually maintained) 
that do not have significant floor damage. 1960's and 1970's trailers 
are getting to be the same.

Why get an old trailer? Only get one if you already have a trailer that 
you can use while you spend a few years restoring an old one.  When you 
get done, you will have the coolest trailer around, and will give you 
great satisfaction and enjoyment.

Best of luck,
