PREDECESSOR TO THE BAMBI WITH A PRODUCTION RUN OF ONLY 4 YEARS

This Vintage 1957 16ft AIRSTREAM BUBBLE is one very fine specimen of the original vintage AIRSTREAM Travel Trailer. Complete Professional Polish tops off this beautiful example of the Airstream Pacer, courtesy of P&S Trailer Service of Helena, OH. All systems serviced, in good working condition, and ready to use. Clear title with no liens or encumbrances. The coach has a dry weight of approx. 1750 lbs and a hitch weight of 180 lbs. Interior configuration is (1) Convertible dinette in the front galley and (1) Double bed in the rear compartment. It has a kitchenette with original ceramic sink, and original (3) Burner Princess gas stovetop. Nice professionally done vintage trailers dont come cheap, so if you've been waiting for the right vintage Airstream trailer to come along, it only makes good sense to go with the guys who've been doing it since 1968 and have a lengthy proven track record.

This was the last year for the 16ft Bubble. Another 16ft trailer wont come along again until the 1960 Pacer. For 1957 the California Dutchman 9 panel rear end is gone and is replaced by front and aft 7 panel end cap configuration. Only one Ohio trailer appears to have been made in 1957 and only one other the following model model year 1958.
