lost in long beach

Hi everyone
I m new to all of this and just bought a 68/69/international/ambassador/sovering or something. The title is not an original so it is of no help. it measures 30' 10" from ball to bumper but also has vista view windows all seems to be original, I need some help to determin what I have so I know what parts to start looking for. Thanks for any and all help in advance.

Greetings, newmeguy1, and welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll find lots and lots of information here about your sovereign -- especially once you've got its year nailed down. The easiest route would be for you to provide the VIN number of the rig.

If it's a 68, it has one front window.

If it's a 69 it has 3 front windows.

Post the serial number, if you can.

Thumbs up still lost in L.B.

Thanks to all that have responded. I m not sure about the year or model only because of the different info that I have been receving. Is there a way to get a positive I.D. without the vin # I have seen different typs of measurments to take but I m not sure of where to take them from. IE ball to bumper or just body, inside from center of roof to floor, inside wall to wall or where. Once again thanks for all your input so far. I will post the vin # that I have, and some pics later on today.

Take a look at the pictures on this site: Vintage Airstream Photo Archives

You should be able to determine what you have from the pictures.
