My dad bought his 1953 Kaiser from East End Motors in Barnesville, Ohio.  In the town where I live now (Bluffton, Indiana) George Lautzenheiser owned the Kaiser Frazer dealership on North Main Street but I'm not sure of what the name of it was.

Here is the list I put together as of July 28, 2013.  It is also in KFOCI HANDBOOK Version 5.0.  Dealers listings are also identified as to source (newspaper ad, information in an issue of KAISER-FRAZER DEALER NEWS, etc).

Back To Top. By posting something, it moves the thread back to the top of the list. So, BTT is used when there's really nothing new to add, but someone wants the thread to be seen.

Jacks great dealer list is also available on Jim Betts' circlekf.com web site.  If any of you have not discovered that web site it is a "must  see" for Kaiser Frazer information.  You must be a KFOCI member to access all of it but check it out!

I can add some information to one of the dealers in Missouri.  My uncle Melvin Anschutz worked for Mr. Makin and I believe that the date of 1950 is not complete. Two uncles bought new 1948 Kaisers from Makin Motors on Main Street in Grandview (south of Kansas City, MO.) and my father bought a used 1948 Kaiser traded in on a 1951. As a kid of 10, my sister and I "explored" the 1951 Kaiser Traveler in his showroom by going in the back door and out the lowered tailgate which is how it was displayed in the showroom. I think that it was a gray color. My uncle Melvin bought a new 1952 Kaiser from Makin which was a light blue, and another uncle bought a "plain Jane" 1953 Kaiser (medium blue) from the same source. My first purchased Kaiser was a 1951 Kaiser 4 door deluxe that had been traded in to an Oldsmobile dealer in Kansas City that my uncle went to work for in 1954 after leaving Kaiser. He remembered selling the car new and got it for me for $75.00  The dealership building was there for some years afterward and I stopped to see about any parts in the 1970's but as told that they had all been put in a dumpster and hauled off some months earlier.
