Building the new frame
August 23rd, 2006
We’ve built the frame that will ride under the 1952 Cruiser. This frame is deeper and stronger than the old one, with room to accommodate holding tanks.
In the photos, you can see the new frame resting on the remains of the old frame. Note that the A-frame (tongue area) is considerably longer. This will allow for installation of a tongue-mounted generator or other options. We also included a space below for a spare to be mounted, much like current model Airstreams.
The bottom picture shows the new frame all painted up and ready to go. The tongue will accept a 2-5/16″ ball so the client can use the same hitch ball as he uses to carry his late-model Airstream.

I need to talk to someone about my 1956 Flying Cloud Airsteam but I cant find a email link on this website, maybe my computer isnt showing it. Could someone contact me at cnlovin@aol.com I need help with the Airstream my grandparents left me, it needs work and I really want to keep it in the family, they where the orginal owners and all of the grandchildren have very special memories of the trips we took in it. I am a school teacher so I would be on a budget but I am dedicated to getting it in good shape. Please let me know if you can help me. I live in Owego, NY and I could bring it up to Plattsburg in August if you have an interest in working on it. Thanks Sandy Lovin
