This 1955 Airstream Overlander/Cruiser has a serial number of 6589, built in California. It features the distinctive “whale Tail” rear end and is supported by a twin axle with newish wheels.
The body is in excellent shape, with only one small depression in the rear end which can be popped back out. The frame is straight and solid, and the trailer has been recently pulled over 6000 miles coast to coast (and back), so it’s ready to be towed to its new home.
• While both inner and outer shells are in great shape, the outer shell leaks in heavy rain. This means it will require a complete rebuild to be weather ready and usable as an RV.
• Many original features, including the Dixie stove, the gas lamp, a Marvel fridge (compressor works, but fridge needs reconditioning), kitchen sink and counters, and the closet area with the fridge cutout. The rear full bed is a rare layout, usually it’s two twins or a bathroom in the back.
• New construction was started in the interior before leaks were understood. New parts installed include new black and grey waste tanks as well as 70 gallons of potable water tanks under the framed out front dinette area. The kitchen was plumbed with an on-demand hot water heater and a shore water inlet. The parts are brand new and can be repurposed or reinstalled when rebuild is complete.
• The axles and brakes are original, and while this trailer pulls nicely, the brakes are non-functional.
Sold with a complete bill of sale and ownership documentation.
