I've never driven or ridden in a Traveler but it's the same body/frame as all the slab-siders which I have ridden in. You will find the old slab-siders are one of the best riding/driving cars you're likely to encounter. That '48 Frazer I had was so nice to drive and so comfortable to ride in. We had a '48 Custom, a '49 F Manhattan as well and they were great riding cars.
This one has overdrive - a huge plus.

I picked up the fin liners yesterday from Larry's place. They will work great for my HJ. I still need a price on them. Send me an e-mail at AZSteele123@aol.com.

It is a low milesage car.  Does anyone know if the owner's manual (kit) was the same for the  1949 Kaiser Traveler as that provided with the standard 1949 Kaisers?

I really like it when a bargain is scored. Thanks for adding the information about colors and low original mileage. $1550, bargain.
No old cars owned.

Yes, all non-convertible and hardtop cars used the same OM which was 48 pages in length. The converts and hardtops had a supplement included for the equipment particular to them which stretched the OM to 72 pages
