Hey! Just noticed that there is an article about Ben Bostrom (AMA Superbike champ) in the latest Bicycling magazine (he trains on bikes to keep fit).. he's pictured in what looks like the open door of Dave W. Flyingcloud that be made for Dicky Regal a couple of years ago. Cool trailer!

Rollerboy - Surely you jest? The amount of shop time alone would be astronomical, not even including compensation for his creativity & personal time. Then, there's always a profit to figure in there somewhere. Worth $65K? You bet.
Sides that, there are always folks for whom cost simply is NOT a factor when it comes to something they want. Lucky them . . . .

Oh yeah! (Even if it doesn't have a shower, right Frank! ). I love the interior.. I can't wait to see his Wee Wind that's on his site. Looks great!

isn't the shower over the toilet while you sit?? To think that i wanted to buy it but not for 65.000 and it did not have a ahower. If that is true you made my day.
David sold it to a motorcross rider or prof. motorcycle rider who lives not far from us, but I do not have his name. I heard he was to live in it, but with no shower????????????
ARe you sure?????????? no shower. did dave get your question correct. also the rig was featured in the blue beret a few months back.Not bad when it belonged to the CEO of airstream, do think he had any influence on free press advertising.
I do believe the CEO paid way more than the 65,000. I will try to get a closer look up front and pesonal if possible and report back. For an oldie that looks great they are not at all cheap. David built it for the CEO and then did him a favor by seliing it for him.
$65k for a David Winick trailer? Not one of those Airstream produced Winick trailers, but a real Winick Design produced trailer? In a heart beat my friend. I have been very fortunate to establish a personal friendship with David. I was recovering a trailer in Upper Michigan and asked if I could stop in and visit.
He was working on that Wee Wind at the time and it has become his own personal trailer. David is a VERY talented artist. He does the finest quality work on his trailers. Owning one of his trailers would be like owning a Picasso.
At International David came to my rig and ate Dinner with us a few times.
He brought wonderful conversation to the mix and has a way of telling you how it is. I admire that approach in a man(or woman, not trying to be sexist). I feel very fortunate have become one of David's friends.
FYI ,The Airstream Factory did all the shell work. they installed new chassis,wiring ,flooring,tanks and plumbing. They also installed new interior metal and polished the interior end caps. An air conditioner was also added and a solar panel system was added at the factory.

Great being the CEO and have the whole team work for you. This trailer is a great example of what vintage shapes, creative design, and craftsmanship could produce.
