Five carloads of us traveled about 20 minutes to see these beauties that were parked in Mike's yard and barn awaiting some TLC. Rachel printed out a couple pages of information about each trailer and that helped a lot because I knew there was no way I was going to remember all the details that Mike shared with us about each one!
Early models (pre-WWII) were made of wood products and few survive today. Starting in the 1930's Airfloat adopted round windows that give the trailer a definite nautical feel. After WWII, Airfloat switched to more durable aluminum for the exteriors but retained its woody cottage-like interior.
1947 was the first year that the yacht-style “double-door” system, to separate the rear bedroom from the rest of the coach, was introduced.
Thanks for joining me today and picking up your Aluminum Postcard. If you come back tomorrow, I'll tell you all about the 1948 Alma sitting in his yard.
