I am very partial to the early Clippers (and "Old Granddad" specifically at the Ohio Factory where I used to be enamored with it even as a small child attending the first factory rally).
The pre-Airstream Bowluses are amazing...it is really interesting to see the evolution of these old riveted trailers.
The most unique, I would say, is the 13' Der Klein Prinz as seen at the RV/MH Museum in Elkhart, IN. That sucker is so small, it looks like it could be comfortably towed by a motorcycle. I am surprised that AS has not come out with a small, traditional AS shaped retro trailer in the interest of continually rising fuel prices...the Base Camp does not count. That thing is kinda retro toward the original Torpedo trailers, but in a not so pretty way.
Just my opinion...
I also really like a certain '64 Bambi II in the driveway...a small AS I could atually afford and will look forward to applying gallons of sweat equity to!
