B190 info in this month's Blue Beret

Post by skater »

The WBCCI club magazine has some info on the B190s from Schu (customer relations guy) at Airstream.

The website is here, and it's on page 36 of this month's (August, 2012) issue.

Some highlights:
--They made 1,393 of them (serial numbers 300000 through 301393). (We have 1,142 from 1991-1999.)
--First one rolled off the line on July 1, 1988; last one was August, 1999.
--Original standard engine was the 351, with optional 460. The standard engine starting in '97 was the V10.
--There were 20 additional van and floor plan design changes in 1997 as well. (Did we get them all? :rofl: )

He has some pictures, too - an '98 and a '97. The pictures look a bit familiar...

Looks a lot like my picture of my 89. None of those serial numbers match anything I have. Still rolling, Lowbudget.

Corrected link.

Wouldn't serial numbers 0000-1393 be a total of 1,394 vans?
