Hatch Heaven

This 1949 Kaiser Vagabond is an odd inclusion in this blog I know, but in several ways, it does qualify (at least in my mind) as a hatchback (or lift back). It was a very unusual vehicle at the time and is perhaps one of the very first direction towards what we know of as the hatchback today. While practical and unique, the Vagabond saw limited production, with just 4,500 produced between the 1949 and 1950 model years.
