I've got a '61 Ohio model, 161T158. Nice to see some '61's represented here!

I just joined today! I'm really glad I 'tripped' across this wonderful website. There is a lot of great information here.
If memory serves me correctly, I have 161T150. Just 8 away from you on the production line mudseason.

61 Bambi
We have a 61 Bambi - manufactured in Santa Fe Springs, CA. It is a 16TDS, S1780 built in May of 1961. We have camped in it for several years. It has some original parts and some replaced. We have never traveled anywhere with it when it did not attract attention and lots of interest.

1961 Bambi
Hi, we have just put a deposit on a 1961 Ohio built Bambi, here in the UK. When we get our hands on it, we will post the VIN no. It is very original on the inside and outside, apart from being sensitively re-upholstered, and replacing the concertina doors with curtains.
We are thrilled at last to actually own an airstream, it's something we've been dreaming of for years.

My 61
Hi all
I Just joined. I am restoring my 61 Bambi # 161T104.
I've heard it is a very early number, any older?
It sat abandoned for 30 years in my Grandad's back 40.
I'm loving seeing it return to life.

Congratulations! I have had my '61 Bambi since the end of November last year and am still working on bringing it back. Some of my photos are posted in my images. I am almost ready to take it out. I'll look forward to your photos.

1961 Bambi
We have had 1961 Bambi 161T235 for about 10 years. We completely gutted it and redid it with matching materials as the original. We are now replacing the axle and polishing the outside.

1961 Bambi
Just purchased a nice little Bambi. Can't wait to polish it. I think it was the 56th Calif. model produced. Can anyone tell me what the lower number is?
16TDSS 1656 261? Attached is a picture.
Thanks,

Congrats on your new-to-you Bambi!! The 261 represents the month and year off of the assembly line at the Santa Fe Springs, CA factory.
