Hello all! New 1959 24' Tradewind

Hello everyone,

My husband and I just acquired our very first airstream. She's a 1959 24' Tradewind. The vin # is 249145. We've already learned a lot from reading the airstream forums and are excited to begin a full monte renovation/restoration soon. She was severely neglected and needs a lot of work, but we are happy to bring her back to life.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the Forums. We also have a 1959 Tradewind, that we are completely rebuilding.
Good luck with your project!

Hello from your trailer's slightly older sibling - 31 trailers older - S/N 249114. We've owned and sold two other Airstreams. The Tradewind is The Keeper.

Congrats on your new-to-you TradeWind. These TW's are the perfect size and I'm sure you'll get tons of usage and fun out of it. Thanks for posting and I've added your info to the registry. Any way you could post some interior pictures?
