“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
