I have scoured photo's on the net, magazine ads from the time and everyone I can, no one seems to have ever seen one like this. I'll post pics once I finish cleaning it up.

Where are those pictures!

There are a couple folks with Double doors but they are very rare. Its a custom order and not a standard option.

Of all of the double doored trailers I witnessed, they were much longer than a 22'er. Now I will tell you there is a gentleman here in town that has a 1959 22'er with a half door opening above the curbside bed so it could be opened up via the hinges and look out while lying on the bed. Looks to be factory installed to me although I can't figure out why unless the owner was handicapped. Strange indeed.

DustyDevil,

Please post some pictures soon, I have a 1954 29' Double Door Liner and Ankornuta has a 1958 56' Double Door Cruiser. Double Door Airstreams are rare and we would all like to see a 22' Double Door. You can see pictures of mine at either: http://www.tompatterson.com/gallery/album06 or http://www.vintageairstream.com/arch...ner/index.html
