Yes it is,, how's the Airstream going to get anywhere unless something
pulls it? What better than a vintage tow vehicle to go with the vintage
trailer? Conversly, what better trailer for a vintage car to pull than a
vintage Airstream? (teardrop trailers are a little small!)

Parts availability is what makes me most interested!

One thing you didn't say was if you thought it would pull a 3400 pounds (or
so) Airstream trailer. I'm assuming there's enough of a frame in the back
to hook an equalizer hitch onto. I'm guessing it's better than some of the
Chrysler Corcordes and other stuff some people are trying to pull with.
Maybe one wouldn't what an unsightly hitch on a Belair Sport Coupe, but my
brother has a '57 4 door Belair sedan that would be a good candidate for a
tow vehicle (but it needs to be restored).
