Larry and I found our new "Baby" - an 18', 1957 Airstream. We now have our next "project". Thursday we drove to White Salmon to look it over and came home, towing this beauty in the rough. We will pull out everything inside (which is double ugly) and polish up the exterior. (The 1950's polish out the best.) One highlight for us is that 1957 trailors have 13 pleats in the back. In 1958 they were changed to 7 pleats. Our trailor friends, including some new friends from the local Airstream club, totally approve of our purchase, telling us that we have "money in the bank." The inside is a blank slate, so now is the time for you to give us some ideas on decor, themes, colors, etc. We will share our progress as time goes on.

She's a beaut!
Below is a link to a site that Joanne found which has some really cool retro fabrics. I especially like the fish fabric and the state map fabric. Just some ideas.
