It would be a Traveler. The last utility Vagabond was in 1951 - the Frazer Vagabond.

For those wondering, please do your homework and look at K-F pictures on the website, or better yet, check information in KFOCI HANDBOOK.  There's even factory photo libraries that show all different years, makes, series and body types.  The information on the CD can answer almost 99.% of the normally asked questions throughout the forum.

The resources are provided for a reason.

I, for one, don't mind the questions. It promotes healthy discussion that sometimes leads to new discoveries.

I thought this comment from the ad was interesting:

Owner passed away and we must sell it.
Has no title, but may be obtained from previous owner.

I have to wonder for how many $$$ can the title be had under that situation?

Despite the 1951 taillights, is this car a '53 Deluxe or Manhattan Traveler?

The $$$ isn't my concern...it's the trip to get the title from the previous owner that has me worried!!!

This car probably started out as a 53 Kaiser Deluxe Traveler. The Manhattan upper and lower side trim were added along with the  two tone paint and 51 tail lights and hub caps.
