Those Kaisers were so pretty, too bad everyone ignored them when new.

What a pretty shade of blue. Matches the western summer sky.

I actually saw one too last monday.

Ther e were relatively large number of these in Finland back in the day. Finland traded wood for Kaiser Corp. products with Israel which had their factory.

I could see Kaiser as being one of the more Eco-friendly American cars to own back then, along with Rambler and Studebaker.

It looks like it sat in Grandpa's garage for 60 years. That can't be original paint, can it?

Well there's a convoluted arrangement!

I really doubt it - in fact, it looks more like a mid- 1960s color than a 1950s color.

Regardless, it’s gorgeous.

It’ll stay well preserved in Nevada.

That should have been Euro-friendly, damn autocorrect.

An interesting twist was that Volvo basically totally ripped off the design for their Volvo Philip prototype, which was a larger V8 engined car intended specifically for export to the US. As I understand it, their board considered it too speculative an idea and cancelled it.
