Talking 1963 Tradewind Pictures

Hey All! I introduced myself a while back but wanted to update you. I finally received my Airstream a bit ago. Thought I would let you look at her.

Nice looking trailer! A little elbow grease, new axles, and she's good to go!

Thanks! Actually had the axle redone before she traveled 700 miles from NC. We might camp in her "as is" this summer and renovate next summer.

Look's great! Two things of note, the tire cover is called a continental kit and a rare piece, most coveted! The graphic on the fridge is fairly rare too. and unique to the year I believe. If the refrigerator is not working do not toss it, at least without having the graphic scanned.

Congrats and welcome to the forums!

The body looks great, no big dents. It is a seven segment body of the early sixties that many folks considerable quite desirable. The interior appears to have survived the ravages of well intentioned owners. Maybe yours is the "International" trim level as the woodwork looks extra special as well as the accessories on the exterior.

Get ready for many hours of fun with your vintage Airstream. You will no doubt discover things that need attention. It looks like it has seen plenty of moisture through the years. The good folks on these Forums have certainly helped me with my questions about this or that. Pictures are always helpful.
