New Member needing help with year and model

I am new to the community . My daughter acquired a vintage airstream which I plan to help her restore. The leaf springs are on the ground and I don't know where to begin. I am hoping to find any and all info on this trailer. I have inserted pics with identifying info. Thanks in advance for any information provided. The trailer is a tradewinds land yacht #240205 T
I have attached 3 photos that have identifying info on them .

I have a lot of photos at the following link https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...GQg2MwUSaYEj3g


Thanks,

Steve Hudak

Hi Steve ~
Your trailer is a 1960 model from the Ohio plant based on your serial number. It was the 205th TradeWind off the assembly line starting in 1959.


I see you're here in the Valley and maybe I can offer some assistance. I realize your post is from 6 months ago so where are you with your progress at this point?

WOW! If the rest of the trailer is in as good of shape as the painted tags, it looks to be very nice! Shouldn't take much to get it roadworthy (I never say that!). Usually, the plaques are really faded...and the Warranty Certificate is long gone.

Greetings from Colorado and welcome to these Airstream Forums. Thanks to FlyFisher for watching everything vintage Trade Wind for finding your dated post. All the rest of us missed it.

I hope you are still monitoring and using these Forums and can tell us how your renovation project is going.

David
