I know nothing about them...the ad is from the AACA site. They look well worth saving.

I agree! Well worth saving.  Close by too.  I guess I don't know much about the 51 restyled Travelers.  Not many around and forum posts - I have not seen many for sale or mentioned. 
No old cars owned.

I saw the green one at a salvage yard in Annandale, MN a couple of years ago. Not as good as it looks. It has no engine or transmission.  That being said, 2 for $1100 seems reasonable.
Here it is when I saw it:

and the tag

I was going to buy the radio out of it to repair, made the guy an offer which he accepted, then I went back to get it I noticed the dial face was smashed and push buttons badly cracked so I passed.

Yes there was. At least one as I recall. The fellow there said they had been sold and so had the Kaiser (but he was willing to make $40 on the radio) so my guess is it went to the same party who's selling the Kaiser now. You may want to ask.
