I was given a 1964 or 1965 Streamline Empress (is there any surefire way of determining the year? The identification plate by the door indicates a serial number 1650 and model number 28.) and am in the process of restoring it. I'm looking for the original tail light lens and clearance lights for that particular model. Also, is there a wiring diagram available for the trailer's seven-way plug? I have all the original brochures and various other paperwork for the trailer (most copyrighted in 1964), and would be willing to share this info if anyone is interested in it. Thanks!

I have been searching for a source for orig size and style tail light lenses ever since I bought my '63 Duke last Feb. Once, on Tom's site - right here - I found an article that named a manufacturer who PERIODICALLY manufactures replacements and makes them available. But, that was several months ago, and I haven't been able to find a reference to it again. Unless my memory is finally going south, it WAS here before, and someone should know about this. I would REALLY like to have the info.

Maybe it is the Bargeman traillight #99's that you are looking for. If so, they are available at http://www.airstreamdreams.com
