Re: [VAL] Wally Byam Holiday Trailer (1952-1954?)

Hi Colleen:

    Wally Byam "Holiday" brand trailers are not very common.  One has 
surfaced and it can be seen here:

http://www.vintageairstream.com/archives1/53Holiday/53Holiday.html

There could be others out there, but if so they haven't yet found their 
way home.

    Besides the one shown above, Wally also produced a larger tandem 
axle Holiday trailer.  Production numbers are undiscovered, but based on 
s/n 1094 that surfaced, we estimate single axle Holiday production at 
100 units minimum, and likely more.

    They are quite nice feature-packed trailers for their time.  The 
single axle Holiday has a floor plan that was soon adopted by the 
Airstream 16' Bubble built from 1955 to 1957.  Holidays qualify their 
owner for membership in the WBCCI.
