The two door Carolinas are rare too, about 400 if memory serves. Strangely enough, every Carolina I've seen (all three!) were two doors and two of them have Hydamatics and the other has OD. Wes Durst owns a really nice black two door with a Hydramatic. Don Gordon owns a 2 door with a Hydramatic. Del Fankhauser here in the Twin Towns owns a nice 2 door which is equipped with OD. Sometimes Del and I would attend the same rallies and he'd have his Carolina and I'd have the '51 Special - both very sparsely trimmed cars with no chrome, not even a horn ring. Spectators who saw them together might conclude that Kaisers were cheap no-frills cars which we all know was hardly the case. I didn't see Del around much this year at all. He's currently restoring a '51 Traveler. He's got the body off it and the engine redone.
