Vehicle Detail
1950 Chrysler 'Traveler' 4 door sedan. An extremely rare vehicle. Total production in 1950 was only 900 cars. All were based on a 4 door Windsor sedan. Unique to these cars were folding rear seats that folded flat, thereby gaining access to the entire rear of the car from trunk up to rear of front seat. Spare tire was then moved to inside area next to rear seat in special carry case with strap. All came in same two-tone color scheme of tan bottom with dark brown top. Exclusive interior was all 'Tolex' imitation alligator hide on seats and door panels throughout. Cars were equipped with 6 cylinder engines and fluid drive semi-automatic transmissions. Also came with the very rare wood/chrome roof rack for extra carrying space. Very similar to the 'Woody's' Chrysler made. The idea was a station wagon carryall in a 4 door sedan. Last known remaining is believed to be less than 5. The hubcaps are all there. This would be a good car for restoration and a good addition for any collection. The steering wheel is Bakelite or fake ivory but needs repair. There is rust in the front floor board and is through floorboard on the driver’s side. This was the true family car. The body line is straight and the outside trim is original and in decent condition, there are a couple of small dents. The interior is not original except the headliner. The seats have been recovered in a dark brown vinyl and are in fair condition. The dash is complete. It still has the old cloth wiring. It is chafed and should be replaced. The car has a radio and standard Speedo cluster transmission. The car runs great and is driven occasionally. We have a copy of the shop manual. Car was acquired in 2007 from the Reno, NV area. The odometer was reset before I got it so the mileage in unknown. Additional information email keng@ss501.com
