1975 Airstream Overlander International 27′ trailer

Few people know that the beginnings of the Airstream brand actually started as the Bowlus Company, a trailer manufacturer founded by Hawley Bowlus. Mr. Bowlus is best known for being the chief designer of Charles Lindbergh’s aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis. The Bowlus Company was eventually acquired by entrepreneur Wally Byam, who would go on to sell what was basically a re-badged 1935 Bowlus trailer as an Airstream Clipper in 1936. Thus the Airstream era had begun.

Given Mr. Bowlus’ aeronautics connections, it is no surprise that Airstream trailers are known for their sleek, all-aluminum bodies. It is a distinctive, timeless, and wind-cheating look that is the trademark of all Airstreams to this day.

Up for grabs is a vintage 1975 Overlander International 27-footer. The International is a top-of-the-line trim level and comes with a full-size bathroom, accommodations for four people, kitchenette, and plenty of storage for mobile living and/or traveling. For an old lady, she doesn’t look half bad and is priced to sell at $10,000 from Other People’s Stuff in Glendale, Arizona.
