Aluminitis strikes again

I just purchased another Airstream!

It is a 1954 Safari. I will post pictures soon.

I have a request for the moderator -- could you create a folder for "1954 Safari" within the "Safari" sub-forum. Also, I noticed there was a folder in that sub-forum for a 1951 Safari. Just an fyi, I believe 1954 was the first year for the Safari model.

Is this the one off of eBay? If so we watched it as a friend is in the mood for a '54 but not quite ready yet to purchase. This one looked very nice. Congrats!
