Not counting the 30's models that ended in 1939, the 40's models were only made in 47, very few, 48, 49. The curved front and rear windows were made in 47, 48, 49 and some in 1950. If you saw a split window coach made in the 40's, it was not an Airstream. This is one of the legends I am trying to de-bunk. Those split window coaches made in the 40's, were made by Curtiss Wright, or by Silver Streak,.....NOT Airstream. Some of the 50's models were 1/2 and 1/2, curved rear window and flat front window. Now Vanessa, if you want Karnak to read your mind, you will have to wait for the new moon, and for him to recover from a hang over. If you want me to answer more questions about your O lander, please give me the basics, ie, year, length, ser #, plant, number of axles, bath? twins? modifications? segments, All of those things are necessary for us mortals to compute the lineage of your coach.

Bill, I'm so curious, how long did AS build the curved oval front window like on the plate showing a bycicle towing it. I've noticed that there wasn't but a few years between the pointed nose split window models of the forties and the 13 segment front dome.
