In 1936, Wally Byam introduced the all-aluminum, riveted Airstream Clipper in Culver City, California, pioneering a design that influenced modern camper vans and vanlife. The trailer featured aircraft-inspired Duraluminum skin, flush rivets, and amenities like a stainless steel galley, cocktail bar, bottled propane, and radio, priced from $1,465 to $5,200. Its aerodynamic shape and lightweight construction set it apart from competitors, and the design has remained largely unchanged over 90 years.
