What ever happenned to the front drive prototypes?

What ever happened to the front-drive prototype Kaisers? I remember hearing that several were built. How many, can anyone document this?
I remember back in the early 1980's, an older club member (wish I could remember who) told me about spotting one of them in a mid-west junkyard in the mid to late 1960's. I would like to piece this bit of history together. Anyone got anything to add?

If you check KFOCI HANDBOOK you will find a section in it on the K-85 Kaiser automobiles.  They ended up in a Southeastern Michigan junkyard where two club members spotted them & took pictures.  Each was cut in two at the corner posts.  They were crushed out a few years later.  Kaiser-Frazer appropriation requests note that only 2 cars ended up being built at a total cost of at least $450,000.

Those would be very interesting pictures to see.  Have they ever been published?  There were several photos taken of the prototypes while on display at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1946 and in front of KF headquarters and while under construction at the plant. After the front wheel drive idea was dropped the first Kaisers produced had different bumpers that never went into production.  Apparently those early Kaiser's did not survive either as well as the Early Frazer's with painted grills.
