an unusual car, the 1951 Kaiser traveler, 2 doors, sort of a camper station wagon

This is the only good photo of the entire car I took, but it shows the design of the tailgate with a 2 door car instead of a long roof... unique I think. I've never seen another like it.




The above speedo and instrument cluster is sweet. Next to the 50's Nash all in one pod, I'd pick this one anyday for a hot rod.


This board game is a true find, John snapped it up because it has Kaiser among the car makers on the Bingo card


John and his wife Pat have put together a terrific nostalgia collection of 1950's picnic and camper equipment... the fishing gear could be right out of a great grandpa's shed

Cool designs, and trailers I'd love to admire in person

On the road in the mid 1930's, from Beirut to Baghdad, by way of Damascus, reminded me of the 1937 D-35 Jungle Caravan of Commander Gatti http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html

The above was designed by Brooks Stevens, its a 1936 Zephyr Land Yacht

The above is a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. I'd like to see a photo of the rig in the trunk of the car towing it. It reminded me of http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/rare-trailer-and-pulling-car-combo.html

1974 VW 5th wheel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XL0TysIn0

This VW can make 360's while the trailer is attached, by mounting the hitch to the center of the roofline. This evenly distributes the weight to all four tires of the VW.

Cool Rv's, 2 because they melded a vehicle and a trailer into one

http://shawnstussy.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html#5045406272543677438 the 1938 Turtle by Roy Hunt. The wrap around windshields are even cooler, and the nice slope to the front is very good looking, as well as the 30's grill. This one had me recalling http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/finally-found-out-what-story-is-on-this.html

Ain't that the cutest! Maybe it was an Airstream Bambi? Mixed with a VW bus I think
