Re: [SilverStreak] It's aluminum! So is a ?



Hey,
Silver Streaks, Streamlines, Avions, etc. get called "Silver Streak airstreams," 
"Streamline airstreams," "Avion airstreams," etc. "Airstream" is a generic 
term for "shiny aluminum trailer." Like "Coke" for "soft drink." You know, 
"Root beer coke." "7 Up coke."

David,
Yea, they walk up to you standing beside a well marked SS or Streamline 
and say, "Wow, is that an Airstream?". GRRR. You can't say NO! They meant 
well, but just don't know.
