Interesting logo badging on EBs

[StagrLee]

I did a sampling of Eddie Bauers for sale in August. The one I bought was missing the rear green Eddie Bauer logo above the license plate mount. I contacted Airstream and they were happy to send out the plate.

Another interesting part of the Eddie Bauer badging is the presence of the Airstream 80th Anniversary badge (2011) on some 2012 and 2012 1/2 year model units. Mine is VIN 526165 and it is missing the rear badge but includes the 80th anniversary even though its a 2012 1/2 year model. Airstream let me know that my unit was assembled in summer 2011 but is a 2012 1/2 model. I like the 80 badge so am going to have all them all. Interesting that it isn't really consistent or sequential.

New badge came in!

I ordered an extra one to be delivered loose with my new rig in Feb.

Glad to see an EB model listing now, , ,

we are legit!

CDONA, so are you saying the wait time for a new order is 2+ months? Sounds healthy for Jackson Center.

I'd heard they were doing these badges for the 80th. Cool! They did a similar schmear for the 75th anniversary badges. The next year's production starts about May of the previous year. My '06 was built the first week of August '05 and has the badge. I think they included the badges for 2007s built before the end of 2006. Weren't the previous anniversary badges installed on the 50th year units? Don't recall...

Haven't yet installed my EB badge on the back. I got to see ScreamStream's trailer at a central TX rally and all the green EB logos mount 3" below the center edge molding. I think most of the 25' EB's in MY 2012 have the 80 anniversary badge on them. While Airstream says my trailer was built in 2011, the shower was installed in July 2012.

I wanted to make sure I got an EB, but wanted a Feb delivery. I couldn't get an answer as to how long EB's were going to be built/discontinued.
So I threw down a deposit in Sept. and let the factory decide when my rig started production.
As it stands now, it's the third frame started on Thursday 1/3/13

Going through my records and found a mistake in my post; my shower was installed in 2011!
