I suspect that trailer could have been a kit trailer. but, who knows? It had emblems like those of the 40's, and other placards denoting that it was numbered airstream, but I tend to agree with Scott - no way to really know unless you are Dr. Holman or his son, and/or you made it yourself... I don't suspect too many of those old old ones get into the international rally, and aside from that, who wants to de-throne Dr. Holman with the "real" oldest Airstream? As interesting as the history is, is having a 70 year old trailer made of masonite *really* worth 8 grand or whatever it sold for? really, it's masonite. outside. in the rain and stuff. only my opinion, but I'll settle for pictures... Toby 2029 p.s. wasn't that trailer numbered #3048 or something? if it was a kit, or plans, did Airstream SELL that many kits? Does any one of our serial number guru's have the specs for late 40's numbering? > An Airstream could be obtained in three ways, > 1 As a ready made trailer > 2 As an assemble it yourself kit > 3 As a set of blueprints (for $5) and make it > yourself > These early Airstreams had bodies made of masonite > and canvas. ===== http://www.airstream-bohemia.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
