1961 Airstream Bambi 16 - Washington

A Rare Gem! Painstakingly restored to original design and ready to roll where life takes you! This beauty has had all the hard and expensive work done to it, all you need to do is hitch it up!

This trailer was restored then never used due to health issues. Brand new everything in a vintage package, this is as 'off the lot' as you can get and still have a piece of Americana history.



Super light,16' length with an original weight of 1800lbs, it can be towed by almost any vehicle. This trailer is one of the rarer street side style models, meaning it was produced in California one of 866 manufactured in Ohio and California between 1961 and 1963 . It has style and function as only an Airstream can provide, a piece of history with modern convenience for wherever your travels take you! These models are also used as guest accommodations, Airbnb income and home offices the possibilities are endless!

The interior is versatile for functionality and I've shown a few of the configurations in the pictures for reference. The couch pulls out to create a bed that can be either 36 or 52 wide by 76 long. There is also shorter couch which could sleep a smaller person or child. For dining, there are two options: a larger table redone that is 48 x 22 stored in the wardrobe cabinet or smaller folding tray tables shown in pictures . There is a ton of storage with high quality hinges to keep cabinets open overhead and closed for traveling when desired. Drawers are designed with the notch to prevent opening during travel, you just lift then pull to access the interior. There are plenty of outlets including one in the overhead cabinet.

Full restoration includes fresh polish, new interior clear stain solid wood cabinets, new wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems, new whitewall tires including spare , addition of stabilizers, and shell off repair and rustproofing of the frame to list a few of the bigger items . Sale also includes a valet system for easy maneuverability, new awning and extra fabric used on cushions.

Listed below are additional specifics of the restoration but there is a lot more information I'd be happy to discuss with interested parties. In addition to interior and exterior photos, I've included a couple pictures of the restoration showing the extent of that process as well. There are additional photos available upon request or if you have something specific you'd like a photo of, just let me know :
