Cool Cool!

WOW! Your pictures were worth the wait....although my neck is a bit sore too!

Love the fact that everything is original...enjoy! Thanks for sharing it with us...

You really should load them in your "Photo Album" &/or "Trailers by Year" on airstreamphotos.com...that way they won't get lost in an abandoned thread...

WHAT A GREAT FIND!

Love to see this in person. Are you going to make the Tin Can Rally at Camp Dearborn in May? Hope to see you there.

Talking Found another sovereign of the road!

Greetings!

I have been roaming the forums for the past couple of weeks and what an adventure it has been!
So, here is my first post ... I just saw listed on e-bay a 1954 31 ft A/S
in southern CA. Has anyone else seen it?

Jason... here is the older sister to your new rig!

How many years did A/S make this model?
