Cool that she would recognize Willow Run. Do you know what year the picture was taken?

This wall poster is very similar to the image on the black and white postcards that were part of a set issued in 1946-'48 and also like the press photos in the press kits available to newspapers and media people when the Kaisers and Frazers were first available.  A nice find and it probably came from an old K-F dealer way back when and they do take up quite a bit of wall space!

yes, it is in very good condition, but with some bubbling at the edges.

the image is quite detailed for its size

I found this one about 20 years ago.  I was told it came out of a dealership and has original frame.

Can you tell the make of any of the parked cars?

great find! The frame looks similar to the color version posted so I'd say its a fair guess that it would have come out of a dealer.
