Re: [A/S] Airstream History
Looking back over the history there are several visually significant points.
While there was a significant change to the body structure in mid 1982 it is
not readily apparent. The first (looking back) major change was the
introduction of the 1969 model year with it's more curvaceous shell and the
first use of 3 front windows. Further back was the change in 1957-58 from 13
front segments to 7. Another step would be the late 40's early 50's changes
from an oval to square front window, tube to ladder frame and the tapered
ends to the flatter ends. Last but not least were the changes in
1935-36 from the composite skin to metal skin.
