Re: [a/s] Hi George! - from blairsmom



Hi George:  you're to be congratulated for two things:  one, that you found, 
and are a participant of this helpful and friendly list and, two:  that your 
posting forced me out of lurking (Hi Lew!), to once again, join the active 
discussion.

We have a '67 Ambassador (read 28 footer, with factory-installed bunkbeds).  
It was previously owned by my dad, who pulled it across our great country 
every summer.....behind a '67 Vista Cruiser station wagon, complete with 
seven (that's right, seven) children.  My husband and I now tow this 
gracious old darling with our 95 Suburban (needless to say, with the 
Suburban's power, sometimes we have to look behind us -just to make sure 
that the "heirsteam" is still there!)

Point being:  having a Galaxie V8, I think you can be assured you have some 
options around what kind of airstream to buy(assuming you're shopping for an 
airstream that's been around a block or two - the new ones are probably too 
heavy, even for a sixties Ford V8).
- airstreams are addictive, and once you're hooked, you never look back!

Have fun shopping and let us know how your wife likes her "early" birthday 
present

P.S.  AM radio sucks....except for Dr. Laura and Joy Browne and Gabe Mirkin 
(the last two I can only access thru the internet, alas)
