The 1972 Airstream is a classic travel trailer with a unique and iconic design that has been popular for decades. Airstream trailers are easily recognized by their distinctive rounded and polished aluminum coachwork, which dates back to the 1930s and is based on the Bowlus Road Chief, an earlier all-aluminum travel trailer designed and built by Hawley Bowlus.

The Airstream brand was created by Wally Byam in the late 1920s, when he began building trailers out of Masonite in his backyard in Los Angeles. Byam published a magazine selling “how-to” kits to customers wishing to build their own trailers, and he eventually introduced the Airstream Clipper in 1936, which was essentially a rebadged 1935 Bowlus Road Chief with improved wind resistance and fuel efficiency. The design was a hit, and Airstream became the sole survivor of the Depression-era travel trailer builders, with over 400 competitors going out of business.

Today, Airstream trailers and recreational vehicles are still manufactured in Jackson Center, Ohio, and the company is now a division of Thor Industries, employing over 800 people. Despite the changes in ownership and production methods over the years, Airstream trailers remain a symbol of American ingenuity and craftsmanship, and they continue to be sought after by travelers and collectors alike.

The 1972 Airstream trailer has a classic design that is instantly recognizable, but as with any vintage vehicle, it requires regular maintenance and updates to keep it in top condition. At Texoma Classics, we understand the importance of preserving the unique character and charm of classic vehicles, while also making sure they are safe, functional, and enjoyable to use.
