According to a Confidential Bulletin from Kaiser-Frazer Sales Corporation (#72, Direct Dealers series dated 12/5/51) Travelers were priced out for 2 or 4 door models, Special or Deluxe series. A note on Attachment One to this bulletin indicated that Portland would notify the dealers it was shipping to about car availabilities including what models were available as two-tones. As a fair number of the Virginians were re-tagged/painted/trimmed 1951's the production counts by month lump them in with 1951 Kaiser production.
