Brand Newest Dealership in NE..

[53flyingcloud]

This morning after running bank errands, I spotted a fleet of new Airstreams parked at one of our local auto dealerships~<@@>
Walked around looking each of the new Airstreams over from the 2005 Bambi to the largest Motor-home~
After spending 30 to 40 minutes looking, I was introduced to "Pate", the Airstream factory rep who was giving the sales force an orientation briefing~
Enjoyed a nice visit with him, talking A/S talk..You know?
Then, I meet one of the dealership personnel present to ask them what was in the works~
First, this dealership will be a full service factory trained dealership~
The dealership has just consummated the franchise with Airstream~! CONGRATS~!!
Within a few weeks "ground breaking" will begin for the all new Airstream Showroom and Service Center, here in Southern New Hampshire~
This dealership is no fly by the night as, I've personally know the original founder of the business. Ralph Talarico and I go back to 1967, when I had a 67 Firebird~!
It has grown under the leadership of both his son and daughter, who have taken over the business while Ralph enjoys his retirement yrs in FL.~
The present dealership has seven mammoth locations, in Manchester, Milford and, Merrimack NH.
The present location for the new Airstream location will share the corner with their newest business venture, the World's largest Harley Davidson Motorcycle dealership~ Rumor has, it cost over a million dollars just to get the franchise for that`!!
As I said before, this is no fly-by the night operation~!!

COOL!!!

that's awesome! much closer than a trek to Marty's....for me, anyway. not that dealerships have alot of parts available for us "vintage" types, but they do have some.

So when do they open for business?

Hi~
Slow my heart down too~I just offered myself as a part-timer to help get this going~!!
The service work is now being done at the Milford, NH., location until the newest building is completed later this year~!
I neglected to mention that, the new facility will cover 7 acres of prime land on this major East-West road here in Southern New Hampshire~!
Just off of exit 7 or 8, I-93 North bound, then head West located on the right hand-side ~Corner of Continental Blvd and Nashua St. (RT101A)
Quite an awesome setup is planned for Airstream~
Did I mention "tax free" NH???
Harley RULES~!

They will do well due to location and because Marty's no longer stocks the Airstream motorhome line. Additionally, Marty's service department caters primarily only to those A/S owners who have purchased their A/S from Marty's.

Great information! Thank You.. Please keep us updated on the progress of the dealership. For me it will be much easier to get to.

This has really made my day!

But I am confused; where are they right now? Merrimac or Milford? I need specifics, i.e. might want to take a little famly drive out that way this weekend and maybe just "happen" upon a bunch of new Airstreams

Barb,
For units on display, go to the RT101A location..You can not miss the HUGE HARLEY Sign~!! (Same place, lower lot..at street level~)
For service work, till the new building is completed..Go to Milford, NH.
I just love'd the 31ft WB Classic~! and, of course the Bambi was so cute~

Glad to hear it . We'll swing up to NH to check out the new AS dealership. We lived 12 years in Concord, NH before moving to RI, due to job transfer. Our fondness for NH is still there. We always find a reason to go to NH.

I checked them out . Seeing all the folks/kids running all over them. Poor floors. Talked to sales guy brought up you working there they like that idea. I bought a GMC D/A hd 2500 4x4 from them I like how they don't play games with prices. They are low.Any how thanks. I'm around corner from you in Goffstown. Self-employed Welder 95% aluminum work. I want airstream 22'-25' 1995+ or perfect older old . See one yell. Jim ]

I drive by this Airstream dealership on 101a every work day on my way to Nashua from New Boston. I noticed the Airstreams started showing up a couple of weeks ago and I kept checking the Airstream site to see if these folks were authorized but as of yesterday they are not listed. It's good to hear 53Flyingcloud took the time to check them out, I'm so happy to now have a local Airstream dealer to buy parts from and have work done on "The Tube". I'm really hoping they will do skin repairs and refinishing work as my 1993 Classic is showing her age on the outside and could use a facelift.

I wanted to let everyone know that Carla & I are thrilled with our new airstream. We bought it when we had already made plans to travel by flying but we will take it out for a nice weekend and then put it away for the winter, but next year it will be used a lot! Thanks to the helpfull staff at Talarico, especially Jim, Dick, Dennis, and last but not least Vern. I'll be in touch. I still have a thousand questions.

Thanks again, Bob and Carla.

P.S. I got a vanity plate "HOME-2".Also my profile says the Airstream is a 2004, but it really is a 2005. That was not an option on the profile list.

Just wanted to share a neat "Airstream" thing...
