Here’s a photo to commemorate the beginning of Fall/Autumn titled “Last Days of Autumn.” This is a 1962 Airstream Globetrotter owned by Flickr member “bredlo.”

Here’s a rare sighting. A vintage Airstream Argosy trailer painted red. It makes for a bold statement on the road and quite the contrast in this photo of the week.

Here we go again folks. Another Airstream turned eatery again in Austin, TX. Vaquero Cocina’s (Spanish for “cowboy kitchen”) menu features smoked brisket, smoked corn, plantain chips, fried pies and more. One Yelp member deemed it as “The best of the non-dessert trailers on South Congress!”

With your Airstream in tow and motoring down Retro Highway you see a bit of Americana as you pass various eateries and their signs of yesteryear. Now you can eat on those signs. A set of 4 melamine Restaurant Sign dinner plates ($40) capture bygone days of flashing light bulbs, neon and hand painted signs. Also available is the Let’s Eat serving tray ($20)and a set of 36 Roadside disposable place mats ($23) to match.

Nasa is giving away artifacts from its collection, including the Airstream “Astrovan” which transports the crew to and from the shuttle’s launchpad. The “modified 1983 Airstream Excella motorhome, and has been in use since 1984.” You have to be an eligible

Photographer Lara Hartley snapped this photo of Victorville, CA resident Doug Hall with his 1955 Chrysler station wagon and vintage Airstream trailers. Hall collects vintage trailers for back props in movies and commercials. “The approximate 25 lawn chairs and hundreds of other items are props for Hall’s 35 vintage rental trailers. They are coordinated by year for each vehicle.”

Flickr member “larock” captured this fiery sunset at Punta Estrella, south of San Felipe, Mexico. You can follow his adventures at casarodante.org.

Seattle’s Skillet uses a vintage Airstream as a mobile eatery showing up at scheduled locations during the week. They serve breakfast and lunch from mobile locations near downtown Seattle, Fremont, Redmond, Capitol Hill and more. The odd thing about Skillet’s Airstream trailer is that it’s missing wheels and axles and is propped up on another flatbed trailer for towing.  Check their online site for the latest schedule.

Recently I posted about an Airstream serving shaved ice in Texas. Today there’s two Airstream trailers selling cupcakes in Austin, TX. Hey Cupcakes has three locations and two of them are inside a vintage Airstream trailer. Both trailers feature a large rotating cupcake on the roof that also lights up at night. Their menu includes vanilla, chocolate, carrot, and red velvet cupcakes. They also have one named after Michael Jackson described as “chocolate bottom, cream cheese top”.

Want an easy way to store your paper towel, foil and wax paper all in one place? Why not a vintage Kromex or Lincoln Beauty Wear all-in-one dispenser. That’s exactly what flickr user “gtykal” did. He restored his 1964 Airstream Bambi II and outfitted his kitchen with various Kromex pieces including the all-in-one dispenser, salt and pepper shakers and spice rack. The all metal design compliments the interior of an Airstream. You can try finding Kromex or Lincoln items on Google, eBay, or Etsy.
