Choptop,

Cool photo of the Sampan bus. Here are two other photos I found on the web.

And a link to an article on the Sampan bus with a nice history piece from 1959. Apparently there a 12 of these known to be in existence, and one is supposed to be in my home town of Santa Barbara - I have never seen it but I am going to start looking!

Now, how about this baby. A 1951 Kaiser-Frazer model that came with four interiors, including the South Seas model.

At the car show with the boys in the Aloha shirts.

Check out this interior, looks like lauhala and fish net.

Look at the mod fabric on the seats.

What a beauty.

There was also a Safari model that came with ...

You guessed it Zebra print fabric.
