My dad an I own 4 of them between us. I own 2 and he owns 2, all of which are in my care:
1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe
1952 Henry J Vagabond
1951 Henry J which was specially built for Edgar Kaiser (my dad's car)
1951 Kaiser Special 4 door sedan (my dad's car)

All are well maintained drive-anywhere cars.
I drove the '51 Kaiser Special to the meet in Sioux City, IA a couple of weeks ago. Put almost 600 miles on it, what great running/driving car.

Jeez, I feel like a piker with only eight K-F products.  A 1947 Graham Paige Frazer, a 1948 Frazer, two 1948 Frazer Manhattans, a 1951 Kaiser club coupe, a 1951 Kaiser custom convertible, a 1953 Willys Eagle and a 1954 Willys Eagle Custom.  I do have 32 other vehicles though so they pretty well fill up my garage!  Gordie

Just one currently. 1948 standard Frazer.

[hoss]

I only have 1. A 1951 Frazer standard. She's been in the family for almost 30 years.

[Fid]

That is a beautiful 1951 Frazer!  Just curious as where you got it - I looked at one that color in Omaha, NE back in 1978. I did not buy it but I've always wondered what happened to it and if it survives today.

I got a 49' Frazer Standard......

[hoss]

Fid, it was bought in Des Moines Iowa by my father a long time ago (I was 14 at the time, now 43). He was a member of KFOCI, not sure that he still is after selling me the car.

As far as I know the car was never for sale in Omaha. Even though we used to live in Bellevue and went to several shows a year with the car.  She is in good shape but needs a little TLC after sitting undriven for about 5 years. Dad had 2 strokes and couldn't give her the attention that she needed or deserved.

I did drive her all of the way back from Evanston Wyoming 5 years ago and only had 1 problem. Burned up a U-joint going through the mountains. Other than that she ran great.

I plan on making a few shows with her this year.

Wow, the timing sure sounds right. I looked at the car I'm refering to in Omaha in 1978, right about when you would've been close to 14. The reason we did not buy the car was because the seller could not produce a title. He was going through a divorce and told us the title was in a safe deposit box in Des Moines! Since we knew the guy for a long time, and knew what a shady character he was, we passed. His X lived in Des Moines and we were afraid we would not be able to obtain the title. We got into a bit of a snit with the guy and decided to walk away. It was a '51 Frazer, same color, and he had purchased it in Crete, Nebraska in 1971.  I would not be surprised if it was the same car. The guy's X-wife's name was Wanda.

 I have two of the All Vinyl Dragons...I was lucky to that one of My Dragons  was owned by The Man that started the Dragon List of Owners Dragon in the Club Tom Behnke. He found out about a  Dragon called an All Vinyl Dragon. Green & White Vinyl Top... Paint 099, Trim 5312 interior with no Laguna Cloth inserts.  Richard Langworth The Last Onslaught on Detroit also was starting a list.                                                                                                      I passed the list on to Harold Hagen
