Thanks Jake

Huh... There was a converted "pickup" for sale in Terrebonne, OR, a while back (I think it was Terrebonne at least)...  Can't help but wonder if it's the same one.

Same car.

No price, hhmm.  I like the Nash also but have no room.  That Frazer looks well executed, from the ONE photo.

1949-51 Bathtub Nash two-doors are very rare, especially Ambassadors. But then, so are Frazer pick-ups.

The $3,000 price was for the Chevy van not the Nash or Frazer pick-up.  If that Frazer was indeed a professionally converted flower car it would be worth restoring but not if it is just a home made hatchet job.  I guess that the '54 pick-up must have found a home as I haven't seen it advertised for awhile.  Maybe at the price he was asking for it the old owner still has it!

You can see the creases for the rear door are not filled in.  I have to wonder what the cab and bed look like.  Dad built one that looked like this out of a 1956 chevy station wagon & my uncle did a 1965 Rambler pick-up.  Dad did it at home and it looked it; Uncle Norman used the body shop facilities at the AMC dealership and it looked factory (in fact factory people came up to find out how he did it).

Hi.
This truck  may be one of the three concept pickups made by Madman Muntz in  1947.  Good chance!

Well, there were a lot more backyard jobs built than Muntz trucks, but you never know! However, weren't those trucks badged as Kaisers like this one?

[frankies frazer]

Yep, hard to say, but I do know Kaisers and Frazers came out of the same plant, just different badging, right? I also think this one can be traced back because it has the original title from California. It also is not a flower car as some think because of the way it is set up. But maybe the next owner can trace it. Very interesting to say the least. Might be a find of a lifetime!
thanks for the reply.

Flower cars are a neat nostalgic vehicle.  I have only seen them in Cadillac and Packard.  Not well suited to the KF.

I found out that Kaiser did make Flower cars (carabelas= Manhattan), and pickups in Argentina in 1958

Here's an IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) funeral coach.
