A new “whale” of a tail… begins!
So excited for a new addition to our airstream family. We will be able to bring this back into regular viewing! California made correct? s/n 7884

Congratulations, beautiful trailer! You will enjoy some great views from that giant window. In my mind the 50’s were a special era in trailering — not just Airstreams, but the hundreds of different models of canned hams too. So much style involved. Is there a vintage tow vehicle in your future?
