This could be a 1952 Kaiser Virginian series car, assembled at the Portland OR plant (leftover 1951 Kaisers were tagged out as 1952 Virginians, and should have a "C" on the doorpost serial number tag (like K522-C10052134)

They made Virginian Travelers?  Never heard of that.

The exact number of 1952 Kaiser Virginian (re-tagged 1951 Kaiser leftovers in factory hands) travelers is not known for certain but I do know a handful exist, almost all of them out of Portland (so they were intended for sale on the West Coast).  According to a Confidential Bulletin from Kaiser-Frazer Sales Corporation (#72, Direct Dealers series dated 12/5/51) Travelers were priced out for 2 or 4 door models, Special or Deluxe series. A note on Attachment One to this bulletin indicated that Portland would notify the dealers it was shipping to about car availabilities including what models were available as two-tones.  As a fair number of the Virginians were re-tagged/painted/trimmed 1951's the production counts by month lump them in with 1951 Kaiser production.
