✅ SOLVED Old camp trailer???

[tamrock]

I've drove by this old camper on a back road of western Colorado a few times over the years. It sits back off the road in a canyon and no one is ever around the house by it and there is no other home site close to it with anyone ever around, so I can't find anyone who could tell me what it is or if it can be bought. I kinda like it and if I could buy it I may be interested? I've no clue of the condition of the inside as I'd be trespassing to get a closer looks. The warning to trespassers in this neck of the woods reads like TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT & SURVIVERS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN.

What is it?
How old is it?
Am I seeing a treasure in the hills?

Argosy was a lower line of the Airstream brand that was not bright aluminum. Might be one of those.

Thanks, Charlie. I said Safari in my post, but Argosy is the correct model for the low-priced line of Airstreams.

Might be a Curtis Wright, designed by the same man that did the Airstream.
Wish I would not have sold my 53 Spartan , It also was an all aluminum aircraft company manufactured trailer .
Even the wall studs were alum with the round holes same as the aircraft they made, during the war.

Did we get his one yet?

If not, it is a 1949 Silver Streak Clipper.

Very cool! But VERY expensive to restore.

Thats the one I was talking about, If you notice it says formerly made by Curtis Wright industries.

I thought it looks like a Clipper (Airstream) from what I see online.

Updated thought: The 1948 17 ft Clipper is Close, but not it.

That's it thanks nhbenz, plus DCMatts little add confirms. I'll let you all know if I find anything on the status of it being for sale.
