I have been told that there were two drawbacks to producing the "Classic" Airstream motorhome. Both had to do with competition from the fiberglass boxes. First the aluminum monocoque body was expensive to produce and therefore not price competitive. Second, believe it or not, was overhead storage. The shape required minimal space overhead which was an often heard customer complaint by Airstream dealers.

I really doubt that Airstream will re-introduce the "Classic"; if there is enough demand they might license the design and nameplate to a third party manufacturer such as Indian motorcycle and Stutz Blackhawk automobile.

In the meantime our best hope is to find an existing "Classic" and throw tons of time and materials at it to try and bring it back to original condition.
