[VAC] Re: Mystery Trailer
Tuna,
As a follow-up to our discussion related to '48 to '51
Trailwinds/Cippers, here is a snippet of an e-mail exchange Fred
Coldwell and I were having earlier.
"We know that the max number of 18' Trailwinds/Clippers has to be 99,
because Airstream used the 5100 number
& up for the 1954 Liner. With 4 years production ('48 to '51), that
would be about 19-24 per year. That makes sense for Tuna's '48 (5017),
Tom Reed's verified '50 (5040) and Fred's '51 (5077)."\
Fred could very well have the last 18' pipeframe made - ya never know
unless we come across a serial number between 5079 & 5099. It's a good
assumption you have the 17th made.
Back to work,
RJ
