The Airstream is not nicknamed a 'Canned Ham'. It's just like someone calling a T@B a teardrop. Not!

Chop the front off the Metzendorf and you may have a canned ham but look at Greg's avatar. That is a canned ham but it the term is often used for all trailers of that era even those with square corners like the one in my avatar.

Back in the good old days, They sold Hams in a can that you opened with a key. The shape of the can was flat on one side and curved on the other.
Hence they look like a canned ham.
