David Winick 75th Anniversary Bambi Registry

[campadk]

Thought I would start a thread (and maintain as info dribbles in). Feel free to add more details as you like:

#14 - Randjg1 - Minnitonka, Minnesota (although he is looking at trading up to a larger unit.. bad boy

#15 - SilverPal - Lynda from Ojai, California

#18 - Bambi75th - Los Alamos, New Mexico

#45 - tetstream - somewhere between the Tetons and San Fran Bay

#68 - campadk - Dave and Kathy McGrath from Ottawa, Ontario
#72 - warpnweft - Susan from Morrison, Colorado

?? - asherkobin

Hope we hear from more 75th owners! Only 68 more 75ths to account for!

Seems to me I remember hearing that one of the 75 burned in a fire at a dealer?

We indeed have #18, one of two that were sold by Holiday Travel Trailers in Albuquerque, NM.

Is this the thread you are thinking of? If so, I believe it was a Base Camp that was burned rather than a 75th Anniversary David Winnick Bambi. Although I know there were more Airstreams involved than just this one Base Camp…

I think one of these was destroyed at the fire at the Chicago area dealer. There is a thread on here somewhere with the info.

I don't know how to link to a previous thread but here is my attempt:

The fire destroyed several airstreams included a 75th Anniversary model and our Basecamp. I had my eye on that 75th. I think they are just beautiful.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of...I posted and forgot the link ~

Does anyone know the unit number of the unit that burned?

I have now converted my '75th locator' page over to the '75th Registry' on my website since I can't keep re-editting my first post here.

You'll find the registry at Camp ADK - 75th Registry

Any updates to the registry can be posted here or emailed to me at dave@campadk.com

Cheers

75th Anniversary Bambi loss:
Totally unrelated to the fire in Chicago at the Airstream dealership, is a loss of trailer #59.
Burned in a warehouse fire. I'm going to be building a new trailer for the owners.
The owners are Nick and Karen Zaknich

Hey, another Oscar Levant Fan. What are you building them?

Not quite a Bambi, but fr8shaker has a 75 Anniversary Airstream. It's a triple axle, though.

Not sure what you mean by 'what are you building them'

We currently tow our 75th (#18) with a Toyota Sequoia. If I had some money I would shop for a vintage or retro tow vehicle for it. My question to the elite group of us (73 maybe?) that are lucky enough to own one, what would be the classiest tow vehicle? Maybe a late forties to early fifties woody?

My assumption is that the question is, "What type of trailer will you be building for them?"

I'm interested as well. Will it be another late-model Bambi, or something else? I noticed on your website that you are now building more of these in similar design to your original, but with varied options for woods and finishes.

Anyway, it's good to see you on the Forums, I'm a huge fan of your designs.

Best,

Thanks Marcus,

That's exactly what I meant.

I like that Levant quote too. My line came from "The Memoirs of an Amnesiac".

Its been stolen.
