1956 Airstream Flying Cloud?

[Frank's Trailer Works]

Rich, how do you know you dream of it if we do not even know what it is? You are a free thinker though, so maybe you can dream freely too

I appreciate it but I'm afraid it must remain a dream for the time being.

i have tried to upload these darn pix 3xs and am beginning to think that it cannot be done. heres my try for today, then off to work. sorry, after it uploads the photo (which takes 20 min) it makes me relog in, and then either says the system is performing maintenance or cancels my upload attachment-if someone has a normal e-mail address i will be happy to send some photos and maybe they can get them on here-trey

Trey asked that I post these pictures of his Airstream . . . I'm thinking this has got to be a pretty rare find.

been busy on a project for work, but after Mark was kind enough to post my pics (thanks again Mark!) can we confirm that this is a 56 overlander 26 and was it made in california with ser #6631. the title is in the works and ive got all the running lights goin as well as the brakes working great. is this trailer worth a nice interior restoration? it has the original stove, gas light, shower, but the toilet has been removed. having just completely renovated an 89 excella due to water leaks and rotten floor, which we bought from a "VERY" reputable dealer who prides themselves for their "99 point complete inspection and overhaul for customer security" i think i know what i am getting in to, but i didnt have a choice with the excella-which i now refer to as "the collander". shame on these dealers who pitch these used airstreams as "good as new because we charged you a premium for our service dept to check everything out" BULL-i knew more about this 89 excella in 48 hours than they did after completing their overhaul that they claimed took 21 days. I'll quit my venting because in the end it's their integrity lost and only my money (and i can make more of that).
