Re: [VAL] Silver Streak trailers

Speaking of other makes,  I have seen a 1961 Avion that is in beautiful 
condition and
looks like a pre-1954 Airstream with its 13 segment front and rear caps and 
old style windows.  Could I just slap on the fifties style light blue Airstream 
plaquareds they sell at Airstream Dreams and attend a rally?  Just kidding!  
Maybe someone should start a Vintage Silverstream Club.
I've had my Overlander in storage since last spring when I bought it to 
replace the 1956 Overlander I had which was falling apart and beyond my 
capabilities.  This one was used as a vacation cottage under a roof and does not have a 
single dent or blemish on its skin or belly.  Because of time restraints I just 
now brought it home and am starting to polish it.  It is so much fun because 
for some reason there is not a whole lot of oxidation on it and the job is 
coming along quickly.  I have an unlikely tool.  It is a Turtle Wax brand 6" 
orbital polisher and I prefer it to my more expensive 10" polisher because it has 
more torque,  I have more control in tight spaces and it seams to clean and 
polish the same sized areas faster than the 10"model.  By the way I notice that 
1958, the year of my Overlander, was the first year they had color options on 
appliances in other trailer brands.  I am going to paint my stove and 
refrigerator pastel flamingo pink which was popular and sew up some curtains in pink, 
grey, and turquoise reprduction barkcloth fabric in the boomerang and atomic 
patern that were the rage in the late fifties.  Havin' fun up here in WA.
