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.

I have hardly ever heard of them.

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.
