[VAC] Re: 58 custom airstream

Todd!
Wow. You have found a truly unique trailer, as it is the only 20' I have
ever heard of.  Talk about beautiful condition, even down to the
original hubcaps!  The layout is the most practical I have seen - I'm
surprised Airstream didn't pick up on it at the time.  Evidently the
buyers were ahead of their time.

I posted Todd's pictures he sent me at:

Todd, can you take more pictures (less dark this time) and I can add
them to the page.  You have a historic find here - any more acquisition details?

Also, does it have a bathroom/shower?  What brand is that little
stove-top?  Any more layout details?

The nameplate shows the sn as O8009C. What is interesting is that the
unofficial Airstream records has O8001 to O8010 as a 1955/1956
Experimental Cruiser.  I wonder if they are one and the same.  How sure
are you of the year, Todd?  The AS records could be off or incomplete,
too.  It may have been 1955 to 195X.

Thanks for sharing,
RJ
