There are other marks on the trailer besides just the big red numbers that are the same in the vintage photos of your grandparents trailer. Definitely the same Airstream!

Wow. It’s wonderful to see the Spaceliner in her younger years. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Your grandparents appeared to be having a great time - and we specially love the photo at the Rally.
Do you recall if your grandparents were the first owners of this Spaceliner and what they named her?

Pics please! KatLizKirb, sounds like you really scored! Let's see it!
I love to see the original interiors intact. Mine was so rotted out inside.

Back in those days, folks towed with a station wagon and didn't obsess about payload or hitches.

1961 Spaceliner
I recently purchased spaceliner serial number 22TDSS0487 (9-60) it came from the original owners family. I was able to get all the paperwork including the Airstream registration certificate and the owners manuals.

Your 1961 Spaceliner was ordered on 9-12-1960 by a dealer named Travelon. The 9-60 build date stamped into the serial number tag means it was built soon after order, much shorter than the 1 year plus lead times Airstream currently has.

Stocktonmike, she is gorgeous!
Shrink/crop the photos just ever so slightly and they will orient themselves correctly (most of the time).
