Here are some photos of a vintage 1950′s Whale Tail Airstream that we are working on. Teak wood veneers and a mint green 50′s Smeg oven really work well in this retro feel Airstream.



The client wanted us to use vintage parts where ever possible so we have fitted original hinges and catches.

The rot in the floor is a very common problem in Vintage Airstreams, which is why we always pull up the old floor and start with repairing and painting the chassis.


This photo shows the state that some window frames are in before we start working on them.
