The Argosy emblem above the grill is missing on this car.
1974 - 1979 Argosy
The first motorhomes made by Airstream were produced under the Argosy brand. The Argosy motorhomes are built on the same Chevy P-30 series chassis that the later Airstream motorhome were made on. They are commonly referred to as "Painted Airstreams". They do have aluminum riveted skin but there is some galvanized steel panels in the front and rear. They are very good units but do not have all of the bells and whistles that the Airstream models have. The Argosy motorhomes were made up to 1979 and production shifted to the Airstream brand. The Argosy motorhomes were basically a test bed for Airstream. The quality of these units is seen by how many are still in use today. The basic design and style of the 1974 model was used through 1992!
