In town for the Good Guys Del Mar Nats, this Kaiser Manhatten is a head turner... there aren't any in San Diego.

All original looking besides the rims, and the ghost flames are too faint to see from this distance, but I overheard people saying that they thought the headlights were from a Buick, and they aren't. The owner has had people speculate that it's a 4 door that has been made into a 2 door, it isn't. The cab and roofline look over large for the body, but it's the difference that the Kaiser company thought would set it apart from the dozens of other car copmanies in the 1950's.

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

This is the most recognizeable Marine today I think, and he is very active in charity work like the Marine Corps Toys for Tots drives, R. Lee Ermey. This chopper is his, and an up close gallery of it is here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/coolest-chopper-well-probably-see-all_19.html
Damn, Cisneros is good at lettering and pinstriping
Barely visible above the writing is the pinstriping on the roof... now think about paying for pinstriping that only the people taller than 6 foot 5 inches will ever see
Pinstriping by Cisneros
The Lil Red Express truck, very cool way in the mid 1970's horsepower wars to beat the competition by stuffing a 360 into this truck
