1997 Norman Rockwell Edition

Hello AS, We just purchased today this beautiful AS but have yet to set eyes on it. It’s over a 12 hr drive from where we live but had friends look at it and gave the thumbs up! So, believe this, we had our first born in 1997 and named him Norman Rockwell! We think this AS was meant to be when we saw it for sell on Craigslist. Excited to catch up with others who may offer advice and have wisdom to share.

Welcome from Colorado: The Norman Rockwell special edition is a very special Airstream indeed. You can read about them here on AirForums. Use the search function to zero in on related threads.

We have a 1986 Limited 34' triple axle Airstream which is a bit similar to yours. They are very roomy and comfortable long distance travel trailers. Ours has been in the family since new. Here we are under a lemon tree. Lucky for us we didn't get any dents from falling lemons. Not a smart place to park it for sure.

I just saw your post about the Norman Rockwell. I too bought one in late 2021 and intend on restoring it. From what I understand there were only 50 built, one for each state. Mine was originally purchased in South Carolina. Send some pics of yours. I am not sure how much wisdom I can share yet but they are a fine trailer.

Good Luck
