Something is amiss here. In 1964, those were Streamline Travel Homes built by Streamline Trailer Company in El Monte, CA. 1964 was the first year of production of the Streamline Travel Home. L.K. Newell bought a 1966 Streamline Travel Home and a couple of weeks later agreed to buy the motorhome division from Streamline Trailer Company BUT even then, he built them under the Streamline name until 1967. Secondly, the ad mentions that this is #84 of 85 built in 1964. My understanding was that there were less than 90 Streamline Travel Homes built total from 1964 to 1967. In short, I'm confused.

I was wondering after reading the history here, though I always take a Craigslist ad with more than a grain of salt. I'd be curious to see the actual title and build date. It is on a ford chassis if the photo of the steering wheel with the ford logo is correct.

Will Newell give you a “Price”?  They wouldn’t appraise mine when I needed an appraisal for my insurance company.  They stated they did not do that for Classic Coaches.  I have seen a picture of this coach before while doing research.  I do not know if it is as old as they think. I will try to find it again. As always, I have been wrong before.

I do not believe Newell will give you a value on the older coaches, and wasn't the first Newell model year '66?

This coach is most likely a 67 or 68, either way it’s cool. Here is a list of the known Streamline Travel Homes.

I’m in contact with the owner.  I hope I’m wrong but it might be one from Ca that was painted over. More info to come. 

There are a couple Streamlines with Newell badging.
