This Airstream is a rare, mint, one-of-a-kind 1957 Custom Model, purchased by the original owners from the Airstream Factory in Norwalk, California. An actual “Barn Find,” this trailer sat unused and stored in a barn in Missouri for almost 50 years. In 2013, it was purchased it out of the estate as the second owners. With only the curtains and vinyl flooring requiring replacement, the interior of the trailer is otherwise unrestored and in it’s original condition. And – very important for most people – the mattresses were changed to new mattresses and were custom made to fold out from two twin bed into one giant KING SIZE BED! With classic mid-century modern lines, custom-made furniture, atomic light fixtures and hardware, the trailer is a true time-capsule. At 60+ years old, the trailer is in amazing working condition, ready for comfortable camping and traveling on the day you bring it home. We have carefully and professionally restored or maintained every detail of the trailer to working condition. No part of the trailer has been altered or ruined. The original wood cabinetry is in place. The body is straight and the skin is nearly flawless…There are very few minor dents or scratches truly stunning condition for its age. This trailer is CAMP READY and it was factory designed especially for easy, safe towing and extended trips. It weights 3170 lbs, and the rare dual axle is an important safety feature and makes for smooth easy towing. It has a super desirable floor plan with shower, tub, large kitchen and lots of closet space. Again, the two twins slide out and fold down into a huge (larger than a king) bed that easily sleeps two adults and two children. The original click-clack sofa folds out to a second bed, and sleeps 2. Because it was designed for long journeys it and has two large propane tanks; an upgraded extra large fridge; and a lot of storage including two spacious full-length closets, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.
