Best Trailer Ever

Hi There,
In my book, the 1968 Trade Wind Double in "Land Yacht" (not "International") trim is the pinnacle of Airstreams. The Last year of of the lightweight Twinkie body, shortest tandem axle, Excellent "Penthouse Bath" (as Airstream brochure describes), Best year of the Philips-Corning windows... Well I could go on...

Yours appears fairly unmolested, which is wonderful. What I am very curious about is that it has the nearly unknown small sized "Central Control".

Could you please photograph and post an image of its face?? It's remarkable that there were two versions of this first year Central Control. Most are the expanded version with a clock, AS world view logo, and cigarette lighter inclusive. Yours is Very rare. I wonder if it coincides with an early build date, or if the full sized panel was a Land Yacht up-grade option. My early build 68GT had the full panel.

Congratulations
