KF In the middle east

[Fid]

I was visiting my folks this week and I found a picture I had been looking for for a long time. It's a 1951 Henry J in Incirlik, Turkey. My brother took this picture for me back in December 1985 when his band was on a USO tour.

He said there were a lot of very nice 1956 - 58 Chevs and other cars there as the those countries would purchase the old dies from US makers and produce the cars there. This J looks as though there is no chrome on in it - black bumpers, hood ornament etc. No way to tell if it's a four or six cylinder.
It was likely produced in 1951 - I know a lot of KF cars shipped there so it's likely a restore.

I have a couple of sales folders from Israel and one is clearly dated 1956 and is for the 1956 Industrial Exhibition of Israel and illustrates full size Kaiser and Willys' cars and Jeeps that look like American 1952 models.  This was the fifth anniversary of the company and by 1961 and the tenth anniversary they went under the name of Kaiser-Ilin Industries and I don't know what they were assembling there at that time.
