I would say yes it still is an Airstream, if the aluminum part was originally. But I'm not sure what it is. (it looks like a AS mounted onto a tow vehicle)
But, wonder what WBCCI would say if they came to a rally, since the towing arrangement is different.

Wonder how they plan on fixing a flat tire? Can't even see the lug nuts!

I've had that vision. I think I would rather have the storage space in the tow vehicle and keep the AS in tow.

Someone went by me yesterday on 100 in West St Louis County. It looked like a 16’ Bambi being pulled by a new 3/4 ton ford. The front of the trailer was angled up pretty steeply. So much so, that the rear bumper was pretty close to the ground. 100 is part of Route 66. I hope you aren’t going all the way to LA like that.

Hi, I saw something very similar in Oregon yesterday. I only noticed a truck towing a 16' Bambi and the trailer was nose high. My first thought was it was a new trailer delivery.

In northern lower Michigan this afternoon on M115 just SE of Mitchell state park I saw a triple axle, highly polished beauty. Late 60s.
Never noticed what was pulling it.

~25' westbound on NY 27 Water Mill NY

At 11:40 AM EDT this morning, saw a ~25' AS westbound on NY 27 in Water Mill NY, with a Fiamma bike rack on the stern, and Florida plates I think. This happened so quickly that I did not see the tow vehicle real well, but I think it was a dark pickup?

Flashed our headlights as we approached from the west in a dark grey Ford Transit van.

Happy trails!

Peter

Yep... a late 1940's TemCo/Globe Swift, mfr'd in Ft. Worth, Tx.
(The one pictured has a larger engine/prop conversion than what was original.)

Was overtaken by an older International, maybe 27 footer, pulled by a dark late model f150. This was on US74 East this side if Forest City, NC.

Passed it at a stop light in Shelby NC, then it followed us through Shelby, on to I85 north, into Charlotte. Passed us again on i277, then went into our neighborhood, only to turn east when we turned west a few blocks from home. Kinda coinkydinky!!!

It had a Wally number on it starting with 9 and ended with 3.

We were in our 30' International Serenity, white 2500 Chevrolet.

Very cool Airstream, but will say your taillights were wonky! No turn signals and the top clearance lights were acting as brake lights.

Taking it home for restoration???

Happy Travels!!!
