[VAL] Re: VINTAGE A/S

[AlanTBird@xxxxxxx]

Funny ~ I was just thinking about this last night!
I got to see a brand new unit in April at a rally of a camping group we 
belong to and I was pleasantly surprised how nice and unique an A/S still is!
I'm thinking that for that reason we might consider embrasing ALL Airstreams 
into our fold regardless of age. 
Whenever I travel and check in to an RV park~ the A/Ss stand out in the crowd 
of "trailer clones". I FIND MYSELF THINKING~ WHAT YEAR IS IT?
 I remember when I acquired my 1st unit, a 79 that was a few years short of 
the 25 year mark and felt that while I knew it was special and unigue~ I was 
left out in the cold from enjoying and sharing my new OLD toy with other A/S 
owners for a few years and that was a bit frustrating!  I now know that an 
Airstream is an Airstream and an Airstream owner is someone who likes to stand out 
in the crowd! Visit an Airstream park sometime and you will never forget it!

MY 3 cents worth!
