“Kaiser Flyer # 5” Joseph W. (Jeeps) Frazer Joseph W. Frazer was the automobile “expert” part of the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation. He was respected by the Detroit “in” crowd and was well-known as an outstanding automotive expert and salesman. He was born in Nashville, Tenn in 1892 into a well-to-do family. His brother operated a Packard Agency in Nashville and young Joe would doodle with drawing pictures of cars during his school days. He could have started his working career at various high- salary jobs in an executive position in other industries but chose instead to begin work at Packard as a mechanic’s helper at less than 20 cents per hour. He wanted to be close to his love - Joseph W. Frazer in his Willow Run Office early 1946 automobiles. Although he was very successful in several aspects of the automobile business, including starting the first technical school for automotive mechanics, his heart was always in sales and promotion. He sold Packard motor cars in New York and at his brother’s Nashville dealership and by the end of World War I he was ready to begin his quest for making his mark on the automobile industry. He first took an opportunity at GM’s Chevrolet Division in sales. He was soon promoted into the GM Export Division as Treasurer and helped to organize the General Motors Acceptance Division, one of the first strictly automobile credit agencies established in the country. GM later loaned Joe to Pierce-Arrow to assist them in creating their own credit agency. -
Henry Kaiser, Troy Ruttman, and Madman Muntz Three Originals
ON THE COVER Henry Kaiser, Troy Ruttman, and Madman Muntz Three Originals ROBERT C. POST Two of the men mentioned above appear in the photograph on the cover of this issue. Henry J. Kaiser does not, just his namesake automobile manu- factured at his plant near Ypsilanti, Michigan. Of the three, however, only Kaiser’s has remained a name to be reckoned with in American history: the entrepreneur behind Hoover, Bonneville, and Grand Coulee dams; builder of a third of the entire World War II U.S. merchant fleet, as well as the world’s largest cement plant at Permanente, California, and a steel mill in Fontana that employed as many as 11,000 workers; founder of the Kaiser Medical Care Program in Oakland, which became the template for the HMOs so much in current news; developer of Hawaii Kai, another tem- plate, in this case for the luxury resort hotel complex; chief of an industrial firm that made hundreds of different products, from airplanes to dish- washers. In 2004, the Oakland Museum of California staged an exhibition about Kaiser’s “impact on the modern economic and cultural landscape” called Henry J. Kaiser: Think Big. Not everything Kaiser created survives today—only a couple of those merchant ships, and the steel mill replaced by California Speedway, a land reuse entailing minimal toxic-waste clean- up. But he certainly left monuments. By comparison, Earl Muntz’s fame was fleeting—and yet his name did become a punch line for Jack Benny and Bob Hope, he is enshrined in the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) Hall of Fame, and a sports car called the Muntz Jet is a rare treasure among collectors. -
American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information
American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1956 Statesman and Ambassador 1956 Statesman Gets a New Look The 1956 Nash Statesman received a major facelift. The front and rear fenders were restyled. There were larger front running lights and new taillights. A revised hood ornament was used and one- piece rear windows replaced the three piece '55 unit. The chrome side stripping now included a shallow 'Z' shape on the side and outline moldings on the hood and rear fenders. A 12-volt electrical system was used for the first time. Statesman was being phased out, - so the only Statesman model available for 1956 was the "Super" four-door sedan. Surprisingly, even though its days were numbered, the Statesman engine was redesigned to fit an overhead valve cylinder head and a 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan. two-barrel carb. This did increase the power to 130 hp, ten more than the two carb L-Head had produced, and more importantly 15 more foot-pounds of torque. It also allowed the compression ratio to be reduced to 7.47:1 letting the Statesman return to regular grade fuel. This motor was shared with the Rambler, albeit there with a one-barrel carb and ten less horsepower. 1956 Ambassador Ambassador for 1956 still offered the 6 and 8 cylinder variants, though the six mimicked the Statesman in that only one body style was offered; the 4-Door Super. It too shared all the styling changes of 1956 Statesman, but on the seven inch longer wheelbase of the 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan. -

“Kaiser Flyer # 1” The 1952 thru 1955 Kaiser “V” Emblem How About The “V” Emblem In 1948 the Kaiser Engineers begin development of an Overhead Valve V-8 Engine. Its original displacement was 288 cubic inches. The original Aluminum block castings (as Henry Kaiser had dictated) were changed to iron blocks in the last phase. The initial test engines experienced crankshaft failures until the balance problem was cured. It is interesting to note that the initial Chevrolet V-8 “Small-Block” prototype engines experienced crankshaft cracking at exactly the same place. The final Kaiser V8 design was a very good reliable engine and had many innovations for its time. The 1949 Kaiser designed V8 was of modern overhead valve design and used a new “green-sand” casting method. General Motors later also adopted this method of casting for the now-famous "Chev Small-Block V8" introduced in 1955. My father was one of the few Kaiser Dealers who actually witnessed the Kaiser engine running on a test stand at the Kaiser plant. The new Kaiser OHV engine was initially scheduled for production for the 1951 Kaiser models. However, Henry J. Kaiser had a passion to build an American “Peoples Car” to be to Americans what the Volkswagen was to the Germans. He had harbored this dream since before World War II had began. Kaiser had publicly announced his intent to build a “Peoples Car” to sell for $400 in 1942 and had actually experimented with a small fiberglass-bodied economy car as early as 1944. Over fifty prototypes were actually built. -
