I have wondered about the genealogy of our trailer also...The VIN is I27T2S1427, mfg in 1972 in CA, possibly sold in Florida, or maybe just serviced there? There is a nameplate from C.J.Stoll, Inc. Florida above the Airstream nameplate. The VIN and name of the original purchaser (I think, or maybe the salesman, hehe), WISEMORE, are on the blue stripes on the Airstream nameplate. There ghost WBCCI numbers, 5090, are on the trailer (we now have #5040). I have papers that show it was sold by an RV dealer in Kirkland, WA, in 1977 to a couple named Whitlow from Kansas. They had the trailer serviced at Brassfield Travel Trailers, HWY 66, in Bethany, OK, several times, until it again appeared and was licensed in Washington in 1997. My question, to anyone who has old WBCCI directories, do the names Wisemore or Whitlow match with #5090 for any of the time from 1972 through 1997? And if so, did the trailer attend any rallies or caravans that were noted in the directory? (Yes, I know I told the kids the trailer talks to me, but it hasn't told me where it's been, just that it wants to go again, now!) Another thought...Noting through the documentation I have how many times the VIN number was mis-transcribed on documents, I think it would be pretty difficult to compile a history of our Vintage trailers by VIN...That would be a spreadsheet task that would daunt even our very able and appreciated webmaster!
