Edward Kaiser

Does anyone know of Edward Kaiser  ? He lives or used to live in Washington State. I have a 54 that used to belong to him and would like to research the history . Any help appreciated.

Do you mean Edgar Kaiser?   He was Henry J Kaiser son and also had a son named Edgar Jr. who lived in the Seattle / Vancouver area. I have a Henry J that belonged to him.

The fellow that i purchased the 54 Kaiser Special from bought it about 1990. He doesn't remember exactly but there about. He thought the seller was Edward but who knows,maybe Edgar. I will try my best to find out . Is there a roster keeper with serial numbers to check ? Thank you very much for the reply .

Since I've never heard of an Edward Kaiser, I'd say it's Edgar that this person was referring to. Henry J Kaisers other son, Henry Kaiser Jr. is a famous guitar player.  Edgar himself a musician who released a CD in the late 1990s. As far as I know, there was no Edward in the family.

As far as I am aware there was no Edward Kaiser in the family after Henry and Edgar and Henry Jr.

Just got word that when the previous owner bought it out of Washington State in 1990 he only remembers the seller used the name Ed. Does anyone know if Edgar went by Ed ? Thanks to everyone for the interest and help.

I don't know if Edgar Kaiser ever went by "Ed" but I do know he kept some cars in Seattle. The Henry J I have that belonged to Edgar was in a warehouse there from about 1981 - 2004 when we got it.

Thank you for that information. During my research i have learned that the last owner of this 54 early special that lived in Washington State was Paul Claywell of  Wenatchee. By the way,from what i can see of your Henry J, it looks very impressive.
