[VAC] Re: 1968 Airstream Decor

[Jim White]

Jim,   My '69 Overlander was finished with a blond (light) wood that is not oak, it may be ash, or possibly walnut, but it is light, not dark.  I've attached a picture featuring in addition to my beautiful wife Ann, our trailer interior. The counter top Formica is yellow. The original fabric, which we replaced due to wear, was a yellow - green that may sound sort of bad, but actually looked ok.  The bath is I guess you could describe it as light tan or ivory, it is the same color as the front end cap visible in the attached photo.  The aluminum trim running the length of the ceiling and around the three roof top vents is anodized gold.  1969 was the first year of the '70 body style, but I've noticed my trailer interior more like the 60's trailers, not the the 70's.   Good luck on your restoration.   Jim White '69 Overlander '84 345   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jim Greene Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 7:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of VACList Subject: [VAC] 1968 Airstream Decor Based on the limited samples I have seen, it appears that the 1968 Airstreams were all outfitted with the same upholstery fabric, same aqua colored counter tops and bathroom colors, walnut flame grain veneer bulkheads and cabinetry, etc.   However, I see in the Airstream brochure that Tom Greenberg posted on his web site says that the 1966 Land Yacht series came with honey stained ash furniture and cabinets and the International series had walnut. Does anybody know if that scheme carried over to the '68 model year? I have some water damaged panels that have delaminated and I assume will have to be replaced. I want to match the original with the new panels.   Jim Greene ' 68 Tradewind
