You're really good. However, after just seeing your post I went to see if there was any mileage recorded (since perhaps the car was a demonstrator) and discovered an error in my previous post. The date that the original Florida title was issued was November 17, 1949. However, the loan contract Mr. See had with Commercial Credit Corp. ($1109) was dated Ooctober 15, 1949. So, I guess Florida was kind of slow issuing titles in 1949. I found another document indicating that he bought it on that same date.  BTW he paid the car off two years later.
Thanks, David

That is interesting. Both do have a radio, a cigarette lighter, and overdrive. My presumption is that the Cardinal car was built fairly late in the year. The serial number is 43023. It was sold new in Orlando Florida to a Mr. C. F. See, on November 17, 1949, who traded it in to Tropical Motors (also in Orlando) in 1969. I really appreciate the information provided.

Thanks for the information. That's really of interest to me. I wonder if that's what happened (?) As for that "10" above the AG, my other Traveler as that also.  What's the AG for?
Here's that tag.

Thanks again,
David

I agree that it seemed weird that it would have a green int with a Horizon Blue exterior. I went and looked at the registry and it seems almost all with Paint code 130 had trim code 1503. So, I assumed I'd made a mistake. But no, that number is clear 1508. I wonder if it was special ordered that way?

Thanks,
David

Hello, I've recently purchased a couple of 49 Kaisers and was hoping for a little help with some of the trim tag info. I am not sure I have them right but I believe so.

Vehicle 1:

Model 491
Body 5
Paint 130
Trim 1508 A (?)
RD 1
TR 1
SCHED 136
Body Number 0036


Vehicle 2:

Model 491
Body 5
Paint 110
Trim 1502

Body Number 15767

I am currently relying on pictures of the tags so I may be slightly off.  Any help is appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Here's a picture (next post) of the bad one. I know. It looks like a mess. But it's actually solid and runs. I know it's ambitious ( and will be expensive) but  I think it's worth saving. The bumpers and chrome are inside it. and the frame is good. This is the one that was originally "cardinal red" which is maroon.

It was evidently last on the road in 1970.

Will do. It may take me a few days to get back to it.

Thanks,

I am not sure if that bridge section is present..I will have to check but don't remember seeing it. To add pictures to a post do I need to have them hosted somewhere? Thanks for your responses.

Hello Everyone.

I am new to the forum and have just purchased a couple of 49 Travelers.  One is nice with no rust (needs glass) and the other is kind of rough, but in my opinion, worthy of being saved. They are very similarly optioned. One was Horizon Blue and the other Cardinal.The bad one has the original Florida title. These are such cool cars.

Regards,
David
