Lasty week I bought a (titled - ser # 4109
1955, Airstream, Model Silv) . I realize that there probably isn't a "silv" model. I have only found the Globe Trotter and Wanderer. The beautiful girl is 19' , with a body lenght of 16'. It has a round pipe tounge with the serial # stamper into it. No other maker plates or anything. It has a 4 burner Dixie Propane stove. Marvel fridge.
A gentleman e-mailed me back from another site and said it was a Silver Streak, but I am try to get a definitive answer.
The differences I have come across between mine and period Airstreams is 1) the siding above the wheel wells has a raised groove the lenght of the sides, every 6". 2) The tounge is different than the period Airstreams. 3) The taillights are set beyond the outer edge of the rear windows. 4) The door is left hand hinged. 5) The serial #'s for Airstreams of that era do not corrospond with mine.
As a restorer of wood boats, this is my first Travel Trailer. Not knowing the initial basics of what mine is, I will have a difficult time in researching the correct info for a proper restoration. If anyone can help me or pass along to someone who can, I would be eternally grateful. I have attached some photos. Patrick
