Any chance you took photos? Would really like to see this one: a I have a '55 Manor. We recently went through the Howard Hughes issue and discussion on the Spartan group site.

Thanks,

Does anybody know when another auction is? Also I am looking for an airtream from the 60-80's either a Overlander/Ambassador/Sovereign or Excella. I am looking for the best deal and don't want to pay alot of money for it. I want to restore it myself so it doesn't have to be in good shape. Please email me and let me know.

There are ebay auctions going right now. Much better prices than the one we are talking about here.

My husband & I bought the '46 Spartan that belonged to Dr. McAfee in New Mexico. I saw where someone said the forum had discussed the Howard Hughes story. Any info would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum & congrats on your purchase.

We have several AS friends with 46-47 Spartans in various stages of repair/restoration.

If you posted some pictures of your new "baby", you might evoke some memories or comments from forum members as to any provenance re your trailer's relationship with HH.

Actually I said the Spartan group had a discussion. You can join there too if you like.

I was the past owner (restorer) of the 1954 13 panel, 16' (pre bambi) actually had no name possibly a wanderer. Sold it to McAfee through ebay, someone got a great deal for $9k, I still have before , during and after retore pics if the new owner finds this thread.
