[VAC] '38 Airstream or whatever.

[Toby Folwick <toby_folwick@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect that trailer could have been a kit trailer.
but, who knows? It had emblems like those of the 40's,
and other placards denoting that it was numbered
airstream, but I tend to agree with Scott - no way to
really know unless you are Dr. Holman or his son,
and/or you made it yourself...  I don't suspect too
many of those old old ones get into the international
rally, and aside from that, who wants to de-throne Dr.
Holman with the "real" oldest Airstream? As
interesting as the history is, is having a 70 year old
trailer made of masonite *really* worth 8 grand or
whatever it sold for?  really, it's masonite. outside.
in the rain and stuff.

only my opinion, but I'll settle for pictures...

p.s. wasn't that trailer numbered #3048 or something? 
if it was a kit, or plans, did Airstream SELL that
many kits?  Does any one of our serial number guru's
have the specs for late 40's numbering?
