1956 Airstream Panorama

I have a Panorama with a title that says 1956. Has anyone ever heard of this? It looks like 1955 was the last year for Panorama. I had it restored by James Hatfield a few years ago and he gave me the impression it was quite rare.

Maybe Airstream built one more on special request the next year? Airstream did build custom ordered trailers, after all. You could always ask Airstream if they have any info on your trailer.

Or....

Some states directed car dealers, and perhaps trailer dealers, to declare a car's year to be the year that it was first sold. For example, there are hundreds of Nash Metropolitans registered as 1962 or even 1963 even though the last of them were built in 1961. Something similar may have happened with your Panorama, in that it sat on a lot until 1956 before it found a buyer. Just speculation, but it's possible.

Good luck finding the real explanation. If you find out, please report back.

Vintage Airstreams are frequently registered as the incorrect year. I have access to the Ohio production records from that timeframe, so if you provide me the serial number I will look it up and determine what model year Airstream originally built it as.
