there's a guy about eight miles from here that buys old ones and refurbishes them, always has three or four on the lot
GAWD!
I thought you were telling FReepers about a new trailer for a movie called, “The Most Traveled.”
I need another beer......
Beautiful Arabians in that last pic.
Thanks for the neat post, Jet Jaguar.
Did these have air conditioning?
I’ve been noticing a growing trend of restoring and/or renovating certain RV’s, most notably 73-78 GMC motorhomes, but also old Airstreams and even classic ‘50s singlewide trailer homes.
Here’s a decent site for a company that works almost exclusively with old Airstreams:

I remember getting caught in a line of traffic backed up behind one of the Byam caravans in Missouri. Airstream after Airstream driven by elderly retireees, it went on for miles.
Even if the trailer ahead would signal that it was OK to pass, you wound up smack between another set of Airstreams traveling at a moderate safe speed. Combine ordinary personal travlers llike myself with frustrated truckers also trying to keep their schedules, and you had a moving parking lot that was a nightmare.
I appreciate the fact that this was a great adventure for those folks in the caravan since they were footloose and wealthy enough to join others like them on the road. Most wanted to be courteous and polite, but they invited a lot of road rage and dangerous driving from some frustrated motorists.
