Re: [VAL] how shiney were the vintage trailers originally



Marg,
The skin was not polished to a high gloss, but had a
look similar to that found on nice stainless steel
appliances. Perhaps with a bit more of a reflective
quality than stainless steel.
you can see yourself in the reflection, but the shine
is not deep, like on a highly polished trailer.
Actually, look at a brand new Airstream, and you will
get a pretty good idea of what the old ones looked
like when they were new. The material is almost
identical. ( Alclad Aluminum)
