New owner - need help identifying

Post by TimYinger »

Hello, I am a new owner of this Avion. It came with some property we bought, it's been sitting in the same place for probably 30 years. I have not been able to find any identifying information on it, can anybody help identify the model/year? Or advice on where to find a VIN?
thanks! excited to get this thing renovated!

That’s awesome you got a free Avion with the property! Congrats!

Hopefully someone can chime in to help you identify the year.

Pics of the inside?

Thank you! I’ll have more pictures this weekend, I always get too carried away with other stuff and forget to pull out the phone to take pictures.

Tim, I am thinking that you have a 1960 Holiday???

I have a 1960 brochure on my laptop, but I have a feeling it has been posted in the documentation section. Off to look for it.

Looking at pictures (yours and the brochure), it looks like one of the widows to the right of the entry door has been covered over.... that is where the ID plate would normally be.

Thank you @Razorback ! You were right. I removed the tin covering up the bottom part of the window and found the identifying tag. It is indeed a 1960 Holiday.

@Razorback From what I’ve read Avion adopted the MorRyde suspension in 1967. What type of suspension do you think this Holiday has?

I don't see any information about the suspension system on those other than "dynamic roadability and husky oversized brakes".

I am hoping that a member that has one of these can describe what it looks like underneath.
