Re: [A/S] Old vs New

Hi Allen,

I don't think it's a question of a decline" in quality of anything.

The old and new trailers are not different because of their quality so much 
as the old trailers are what Wally Byam intended Airstreams to be.  Light and 
aerodynamic.  

The new classics still have quality materials but so much quality they are 
heavy which goes against the original idea.  They have solid oak cabinetry, the 
old ones had light cabinets.  The new ones have very thick carpets, the old 
ones had lighter floor materials....

The vintage trailers have a charm the new ones just don't and never will..... 
 put a 1960s Flying Cloud next to my 1996 and the Flying Cloud will, without 
question, get all the attention....and rightly so.

That doesn't make my trailer not as good, just different. The old ones have 
the "cool" factor.....

Cars are the same.... put a new Chevy next to a 1957 Chevy.... which one will 
people notice?
