Susan, Phoebe and I are vacationing this week with my brother who lives in New Orleans. On the way I made a side trip to RV Repair & Sales (Billy Pollard's) in Jackson, MS -- the only Airstream dealer in Mississippi. I had heard that he had a large inventory of Airstream parts for vintage trailers. Spent the morning looking through a 1977 parts catalog with the parts manager who was very interested in being helpful. The good news is that they do have some new old parts (including a few replacement refrigerator doors, vent covers, etc. that somebody was looking for recently). The bad news is they don't have nearly as many vintage parts as they had several months ago. I was told that Billy Pollard sold 57 used Airstreams as a lot about 18 months ago. Evidently these trailers were being parted out. There was no warehouse full of miscelleanous used parts that I had been expecting to spend the day poking through looking for goodies. I may have my A/S dealers mixed up but the part! s ! ! manager (Brenda Heil) said Billy Pollard does not have any salvage type Airstream parts that I was hoping to find. Still might be worth a try for specific parts. They advertise in the Blue Beret. Incidentally, they had about 20 new Airstream models on display on the lot. I saw Airstream had gone back to using real wood in the interiors for cabinets and bulkheads.
