Final answer:
The type of home described is a mobile home, designed for mobility with a permanent chassis and built before the 1976 HUD code, which later brought about the term 'manufactured home' for enhanced quality and safety standards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of home that is constructed with transportation in mind, built with a permanent chassis and wheels prior to 1976 is known as a mobile home. At that time, mobile homes were designed to be easily moved and were considered personal property rather than real estate. Following 1976, the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code went into effect, and the term 'manufactured home' was adopted to reflect the new standards of quality and safety that these homes were required to meet, making them generally superior to the earlier mobile homes.
