Low-Mileage Orphan: 1951 Kaiser Deluxe 2-Door Sedan, $4000

I'm a big fan of Kaisers, and this has to be one of the nicest of the 1951-53 "Anatomic Design" Kaisers penned by Howard "Dutch" Darrin available anywhere for under $5k. This car is claimed to have been parked in a garage with only 3 miles on it since 1977 (if anyone believes that, I've got a bridge for sale), but it definitely shows signs of being a low-mileage survivor car. Unusually for any Kaiser, especially this generation and the facelifted 1954-55 models, and for a car residing in the Puget Sound region, there is very little rust, mostly located in the lower rocker panels.

This is a great buy, and it is located near Whidbey Island, Washington.

Circa-1965 Volvo 122 "Amazon"

This Volvo 122 was spotted on a tree-lined suburban Eugene street in August 2009. It was originally one of three very similar cars (two drivable Volvos and one parts car) that I first spotted in the early 1990s. The parts car and second drivable Volvo are long gone, but this one still remains, as a testament to the reliability, durability and long life of the pre-Ford takeover Volvo. 

The red paint appears original, as does just about everything else, and this car is a great example of a "survivor" car (unrestored, well-preserved original) and thus shouldn't be restored. A set of the forthcoming new "Pacific Wonderland" Oregon plates or restored year-of-manufacture vintage Oregon plates, some new tires and a good cleaning would do this car a lot of good.
