Jean,

I'm beginning to think I just happened across some brief mention about the Silver Streak somewhere, because I can't seem to track it down among my bookmarks. I'll keep an eye out for Silver Streak info, and post anything I might run across.

I did find the following, on Airstream Central's Tech Info page (http://www.airstreamcentral.com/feb99.htm). You might want to go to that page and email the Johnsons to see what they may have found out.

TT. if i can i would like to know if there is anything on the net written about them, thanks the johnsons.

Subject: Re:Silver Streak Airstream never did make the Silver Streak. The Silver Streak, like many aluminum shelled trailer's were competitors that either started independently or by former employees of Airstream to compete in that market. Because Airstream had large corporate backing during the
critical times of the energy crisis of the early 70's they were able to survive when all the rest went by the wayside. Avion and Silver Streak lasted the longest. Avion sold out to Fleetwood, but Fleetwood stopped building the aluminum coaches and applied the name to a fiberglass Fifth wheel. Silver Streak survived with no dealer network by building custom coaches for a very faithful group of owners. I have not searched the web for Silver Streak. That's part of the fun. Go to a search engine like alta vista and do a word search. It's amazing what you can find
