Kaiser-Frazer began manufacturing vehicles soon after WWII. Henry
Kaiser was an industrialist with money and financing; George Frazer
was an automotive executive with Packard. Together they leveraged
the post war demand and the automobile manufacturing industry's
inability to rapidly re-enter commercial production by leasing a
vacant plant from Ford and built over 100,000 cars in a year.
Internal disputes, poor financials and fierce competition among the
Big 3 would soon have an impact on Kaiser's future as an automobile
manufacturer. 1954 was the final year of production for the Kaiser,
although a very small quantity of 1955 versions were marketed by
dealers who had attached a 1955 hood ornament to their existing
1954 models on hand. This 1954 Kaiser Manhattan, one of 4,109
produced, retailed for $2,444 and was initially shipped as a
supercharged engine.
