SECTION FOUR:
In September of 1947, Howard Warren of Riverside, California published his "do-it-yourself" plans for a very similar (4'x9'7" floor plan) teardrop in Mechanix Illustrated magazine.
No one really knows how many "teardrops" have been built by the "do-it-yourself" crowd who purchased Mechanix Illustrated and other plans over the years. The design remains mighty popular around the world.
Kit Manufacturing Co. remains a hugely successful manufacturer of recreational vehicles and mobile home equipment in 1998, with some 14 manufacturing plants in operation around the United States. Dan Pocapalia serves as Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer at Kit. Bill Worman lives in retirement.
