Camping Out

“A great many people,

and more all the time,

live their entire lives

without ever once

sleeping out under the stars.”

— Alan S. Kesselheim

free from walls and such

asleep beneath nighttime stars

nature’s peace at work

Marketed for both work and camping trips, the 1947-1951 Frazer Vagabond/Kaiser Traveler could be transformed into a cargo hauler or sleeper in under a minute. Its flat, seven-foot floor with seats and tailgate down was large enough to accommodate two people sleeping inside, with or without its optional canvas tent • Photo at Dauer Museum of Classic Cars, Sunrise, Florida, by Jan Logozzo • “Camping Out” haiku by Mary O’Connor
