Vehicle description
This is an extremely rare and hard-to-find vintage Airstream trailer - a 1949 Trailwind (#5022). There were not many that were made and let alone survived over the last 70 years. Very few models exist today and even fewer become available for sale. There are some amazing examples that have been restored and often once finished, go to museums and private collections, rarely to be seen again. Henry Ford"s museum has this exact model in it"s museum. Theses prime examples have sold between $45-70K over the years.
The Trailwind has been stored away for many years and it"s time to find it a new home. The trailer needs restoration and attention, it is not perfect by any means but it has good bones and is a great candidate for restoration. The skins have various dents and dings, to be expected of a trailer 70 years old and stored away in northern snow country. The flooring of the trailer doesn"t have typical floor rot or tons of water damage, usually seen in older trailers. The windows and seals did a pretty good job keeping the rain and snow out all these years.
The interior walls will also need attention during restoration. The original ice box, sink, and counter is included. It appears to have been painted at one time but could be easily stripped down to the stainless. It will need some minor structure repair to the back of it. Original cabinets located on each end under windows are included. The heater pictured is not original but will be included with the purchase.
The trailer is incredibly light and easy to move. The tires will hold air for some time but would not recommend using them towing long distance. The tongue jack will not move up or down as it has a slight bend.
All in all, I would be happy to talk with seriously interested parties. I am open to best offers and would like to sell the trailer before the snow flies. The title work was put away many years ago but has a clear title. It is currently being issued. I have this listed privately to other parties and reserve the option to remove this listing if it sells. If you need more pictures please let me know!
