That wild tailgate belongs to a 1951 Kaiser Deluxe "Traveler" - not exactly a wagon, more of a - and I hate the term - crossover. It's a sedan with the biggest hatchback/tailgate I've ever seen! The windows were up so I couldn't get a shot of the interior, but the seats have their original "dragonskin" covers. They look like leather and are kinda maroon and black with swirls, totally wild for an original car. It was for sale for $23k - about what a Camry would cost used! Check the link to the rest of the pics, there are more than 150 shots to go through.Uncle Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727387676551708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-32058275245915207992011-10-12T17:47:49.033-04:002011-10-12T17:47:49.033-04:00Oh how I wish we could have met up when you were o...Oh how I wish we could have met up when you were out west! I was crazy busy that weekend, but would have died to go to Lebowski fest! I just got a digital projector and am starting to do movies on the side of the house. I think a Lebowski screening is in the near future. I absolutely LOVE those old wagons! What is the make of the one that has a tailgate as big as a back porch? It is a whale! Your tiki albums and mugs are wonderful too.
