High-End Folk Art

There's an interesting article in Fortune about the resurgence of Airstream. The article states that Airstream sales doubled between 2003 and 2006. It also claims that 28% of Airstream buyers never owned an RV before! Kristy and I are amongst that number.

You can read the article here:

The Airstream: one sleek mod pod

Why did we buy an Airstream? There are many substantive, practical reasons like longevity and quality. But in truth, I suppose the writer is on the right track. There's something timeless about that classic silver shape. It's both nostalgic and futuristic, like a cross between your great grandparents' old trailer and a UFO. When you see one, you smile.
