    “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.

    “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.

The Kaiser automobiles were some of the most unique and quality American cars of the 1950's and are a very pleasurable car to own, restore, show or drive. They turn heads every where they go and their beauty and uniqueness always draw a crowd. The Kaisers are not difficult to restore or maintain and most parts can be located with little effort. Most mechanical parts were obtained from outside suppliers, such as Borg-Warner, Auto-Lite, and GM, so many parts are common with other makes.

    Page 1 “Kaiser Flyer # 6” Kaiser - 1952 Henry-J What is a “Henry-J” Kaiser ? - Well, it’s just one of the most pleasurable cars built during the years of 1951 thru 1954. Who manufactured the Henry-J car ? - Kaiser-Frazer Motors, USA of Willow Run, Michigan. Who was Kaiser-Frazer Motors ? - Here’s a brief History lesson. Just as World War II was ending, the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation was formed to produce new Automobiles for the new-car thirsty post-war crowds. The first Kaiser-Frazer Cars were released in 1946 as the first mass-produced 1947 new car models. They were unique designs for their time with design contributions by Mr. Howard "Dutch" Darrin of Paris who also designed several “custom-bodied” cars including the famous “Packard Darrin”. He also designed and built the prototype of the beautiful “Kaiser Darrin” fiberglass sports car. Copyright 1998 - 2006 William P. (“Kaiser Bill”) Brown HC 65 Box 49, 18530 W. Yellowstone Rd., Altonah, Utah 84002 Tel 435-454-3098 Page 2 Although Darrin had created an entirely new modern design for the 1947 Kaiser-Frazer cars, he felt that the Kaiser-Frazer engineers had ruined his design with major production compromises to rush the new 1947 models into production, and he was furious. Darrin's design was low-slung and sleek, and although Darrin's basic body lines were somewhat adapted and the first Kaisers and Frazers were quite good-looking, they were much more fat and bulbous than the original Darrin design. During the years 1947 through 1954, Howard Darrin continued to contribute his design talents to Kaiser (Frazer had bowed out of the company in 1951).
