The first production Kaiser was the 1947 model actually produced in late 1946.  It was a very unique and revolutionary design being the first with no distinguished fenders.  The straight-flowing body lines were simple yet very attractive.  The interiors were well appointed with an attractive dash and accessories.  Six people could sit very comfortable in the extra wide seats and ample leg room.  Eight people could actually fit without too much discomfort.  It was a big car with lots of room.  It drove beautiful and the ride was very smooth and comfortable.

In 1949 Kaiser introduced the very first "Hatch-Back" car.  In 1948 Henry-J Kaiser instructed his engineers to build him a car he could take fishing.  He personally hand-drew the outlines of the rear hatch and tailgate onto a 1948 Kaiser.  It was originally named the "Convertible Station Wagon."   They were later designated as the "Traveler" and the Vagabond."  The rear seat folded forward and the seat back folded down to create a large flat cargo area. These true utility cars were promoted to outdoorsmen, florists, farmers, undertakers and emergency agencies as ambulances.  They were produced by Kaiser up through the 1953 model year.  Similar models were also offered in the Frazer line-up through the 1951 model year.
