Details: 1959 Airstream Flying Cloud (a 22ft model), vin #22-8605
We found this diamond on Craigslist (where else?) as we searched for our stolen 18 footer. (A brief story and link to photos for that pretty thing are forth-coming.) On the 24th we toured the trailer and really liked what we saw, knowing that a complete shell off restoration would be the only way to get this one up and running. Pictures from that day are found here. After a bit of negotiating, a price was agreed upon (yea!) and a date was set to pick it up.
Saturday was the big move. After seeing the original split rim wheels and aged tires, we knew the best way to get the trailer to Seattle (a 1.5 hour drive) would be to replace them.
After hitching up and changing the tires off we drove!
We are going to leave it in Ryan's loading bay at least until we get the shell back on.
Here's a shot of the whole fam in front of rig... What should we name it?
Next up, we're removing the cabinets and getting ready to separate the shell from the frame...
