Trailer and tow vehicle are almost a match - my '63 Shasta Airflyte and my friend's '60 Corvair Lakewood wagon. Don't worry, the trailer isn't hooked up to the Corvair - that would be scary. Another friend has the tow vehicle I really want, a '60 International Travellall. Even has a Z stripe. It's just like the one below. Unfortunately, I've sworn off old vehicles with motors.

You had me until "don't worry". Can't beat the vintage trailer/vehicle combo.

Where have I seen that color blue before??? I know, you paint every camper that color!
It looks great.
Any close up photos you can share?

That's the original paint! We did use a chip from it when we chose the color for the Compact.
You've caught me at a bad time - busy at work, busy at home. Trailer is going into a storage facility where I'll have access to it, but not as easy as going to the garage.
Anything in particular you'd like a picture of?

It's so close in color to your Compact I assumed you painted it. Does it even need painted? From a distance it looks great.

Thanks! We're not going to paint it. It's got some scratches and scrapes and a few issues, but we're taking the position that it's only original once. It may get painted several years down the road, but not now. It's good enough!
We did go over it with a light rubbing compound and some wax.
I'll try and get a few close ups tonight.
