The Flying Cloud

This is our '54 Airstream Flying Cloud all 22' of joy. Found her on ebay and had to drive out to Nor-Cal up in Marin County to fetch her. I am the 3rd owner and it was in remarkable shape for being so

This was the morning after I spent my first night in her in a rest stop in Lordsburg NM on the way home. It was frezzin in that tin can, fortunately Franco and Katie threw me a blanket on my way out of S. Calif. By the time I got to NM, I had all the running lights working and got to take off those awful magnetic lights I had on it when I left Calif.

Removing all the unneccesaries....too much weight on the back. That was a huge generator hanging off the back on some home made rack that I could tell would not still be attached to the trailer after towing it 1600 miles back to Texas. It was ugly anyway. See ya!!
