Cars For Sale & Wanted / 1951 Kaiser Deluxe Traveler 4-door

« on: November 01, 2020, 11:19:25 AM »

I have a 1951 Kaiser Deluxe Traveler 4 door that I'd like to sell. It is restorable, or a decent parts car. It currently has a small block Chevy and automatic transmission in it. It does not run and appears to be an early attempt at a conversion. I do have an original 226ci flathead 6 and an overdrive transmission to sell with it. The car was originally an overdrive car but I'm not sure if this is the original engine/trans that was in it. All of the Traveler wood is in it. It has an excellent headliner and front seat. All of the trim is there. There is rust in the floor which has had an amateur patch job. There is also rust in the spare tire well.
The car is located in Northwest Arkansas and will need to be trailered.
I can either text or email as many photos as you'd like.
Asking $2500. or sensible offer.

Kaiser Forum / 1951 Kaiser Jack:

« on: September 24, 2020, 06:42:35 PM »

Would someone please TEXT me a photo of a 1951 Kaiser Jack to 479-640-1102? I have a line on one to purchase but I have no idea what it should look like. My source also has a 1950 Kaiser Jack, but I don't know what that looks like either, so a photo of a 1950 Jack may help also.
Thank You!

Parts For Sale & Wanted / Re: Wanted -Exhaust manifold 1951 Kaiser Deluxe

« on: September 01, 2020, 07:18:58 PM »

When I purchase my 51, it also had a cracked exhaust manifold. I was able to find a good used one from "FRENCH LAKE AUTO PARTS" in Minnesota. its a salvage yard and I believe they had several Kaisers at that time. You can reach them at (320)-274-8497.
Hope that helps!

Willys Forum / Found: '54 Willys

« on: May 15, 2020, 07:41:01 PM »

On a recent visit to a "U Pull It" salvage yard, I came across a Willys Ace Deluxe 4 door sedan. It was not in the salvage area.
The manager of the yard told me he'd like to get $1500. for it. It's a complete car, engine and all, with very little rust from what I could see. It would need a total restoration!
If you'd like some photos of it and it's location in NW Arkansas, you can text or call me at 479-640-1102

Kaiser Forum / 1951 Kaiser vacuum wipers

« on: March 29, 2020, 05:22:41 PM »

I have vacuum wipers in my '51 Kaiser Special 2 door sedan. Does anyone know where I can get a switch with the correct length cable attached? The end of my cable is broken off, so I'm not sure what to look for, nor do I know how long the cable is supposed to be. Also, which of the hose attachments on the wiper motor goes to the Carburetor base, and which to the fuel pump?
I'm stumped! If I can't solve this problem, can I convert to electric wipers, and how difficult a conversion is that?
