The instantly recognizable Airstream Trailer has been a favorite among trailer owners since the 1930s, and thousands continue to be drawn to the classic aluminum design.
So when Airstream needed an environmentally-friendly way to treat the aluminum bodies of its trailers ensuring durability and enhancing the sheen, Airstream turned to Alcoa - the largest aluminum maker in the world.

 DeSoto Airstream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Desoto Airstream was an automobile built by the Chrysler Corporation and sold through its DeSoto division during model years 1935 and 1936.
While streamlined and aerodynamic, the Airflow was not embraced by the public, and the more mainstream Airstream was introduced as a stop-gap measure until a fully redesigned DeSoto could be introduced in 1937.
While the super structure of the Airstream was all-steel (as opposed to wooden framing - a practice still followed by some US automakers in the mid-1930s), the car rested on its frame, while Airflow's unibody build qualities placed the passenger compartment within the frame structure.
