I don't know that we can ever really tell for sure where it is...but maybe what it is!

According to all the tutoring that Fred has imparted on us at VAC rallies and obsevations over time - it appears to me that that is an Ohio made trailer, not CA. Why?
  • the oval emblem below the blue VIN placque is a MHMA badge. CA trailers didn't have these - they have the square CA Housing ones
My guess is it's a 1963 Safari Ohio made Land Yacht like the one here - except the one in the archives has the International upgrades (trim around blue placque & scare light). The key is the door-in-a-door, the positon (no front windows) and direction of swing.

BTW, that picture was originally shot for the 1963 Airstream Story brochure check out page 4 for a color version and a slightly different shot.
