1956 Vintage American Airstream – History
In 1931, Airstream began with Wally Byam’s dream: to build a travel trailer that would move like a stream of air, be light enough to be towed by a car, and create first-class accommodation anywhere.
Every inch of an Airstream has a function. Airstream is the most thoroughly tested brand in trailer history. Its engineering is the culmination of over 80 years’ experience plus millions of miles on roads throughout the world.
Built in 1956, our Airstream is a ‘Sovereign of the Road’ model and epitomises the style of Wally Byam. This particular Airstream, number 1234, was owned by a member of Wally Byam’s Caravanners Club, and the original stickers from a 1961 Omaha, Nebraska meeting are still on the windows.
Sit back…relax and enjoy the 1950s glamour of vintage Americana.
