Trike -
Between Bill Scott and RJ, the trailer's length, age, and serial number, it
appears to fall into the category of a No-Name Nineteen... the default model
name would be a "Clipper," but in 1948, Airstream introduced a 'new
19-footer' beginning with serial number 5000, and announced a contest to
name it. The winning name was 'Trailwind'. The Trailwind for 1949 was
shortened to 18', so it would appear that this 'mystery trailer' was one of
the original unnamed 19' trailers introduced in 1948, and subsequently named
'Trailwind'. It would seem to be a 'mystery' no longer. Technically, it had
no model name at the time it was built, and was subsequently designated a
'Trailwind', so i suppose it could rightly be called a 'No-Name Nineteen'...
from 1948. It's clearly NOT the standard rear-bed model, since the bathtub
is original... so perhaps '1948 No-Name Nineteen Custom' would cover the
facts. However, I'm comfortable with '48 Trailwind.
