Amy and Ed have come to expect as much when purchasing vintage trailers. "They're all rotting because they've been outside for 50 years. And if they've been driven around, you know, they've been shaken up a lot," Amy said.
The couple has named two other Airstreams after famous female singers. Their 1969 trailer is called 'Janis,' after Janis Joplin who performed in Woodstock that year. And they're currently in the process of renovating a 1974 trailer named 'Dolly' in honor of Dolly Parton's album 'Jolene.'
They named another trailer 'Betty Jean' after a woman whose Polaroid picture they found inside.
"It's a way of paying homage to the years that the Airstream is from, and also honoring women that we think are awesome," Amy said of their naming system.
The benefits of buying an Airstream include cost and flexibility, Amy told Business Insider. "It's something you could take with you when you go. Also, if you build a guest house on your property, your taxes go up, but if you put a Airstream on your property, it's a registered vehicle," she said.
