Bella, our 1958 Custom Airstream (close to a Flying Cloud)

Bella is an old Airstream travel trailer built in 1958 in California. She is a Flying Cloud but her interior is somewhat modified and looks more like Airstream's general 22' specifications of that year. Bella was purchased by a businessman in northern Idaho and has spent the last 58 years nearby beautiful Lake Pend Oreille. We had absolutely no intentions of getting another vintage Airstream. But then we met the original owner's very nice grandson and here we are owning another vintage trailer.

First little attempts to polish...

Very dirty work but so incredibly rewarding. I only have a $49 HFT polisher and at the slow speed 600-800 RPM with quite a bit of pressure applied, the motor gets hot quickly. I would be amazed if that polisher makes it through polishing the entire trailer. This is all only the first of three polishing rounds using coarse grade NuShine C9.
