1951 Cruiser 25′ #6075

Some of the early flat-ended ladder frame (’50/’51) Airstreams had 15 panels end caps, as Airstream must have played around with different curved end looks, all changing to 13 panels in 1952, 7 in 1958 and 5 in 1965. The early skins were just flat pie-shaped strips, and as tooling and methods refined, the number of panels decreased.

s/n 6075 seen here has the 15 panel end caps
