Other items.... Many original Kaiser tools - laths - parts (still in the box, hundreds) - Manuals/Books - 100's of vintage Gasoline Memorabilia (Porcelain Signs / Texaco-Sinclair-76-) other vehicle as well chevy coupe and chryslers.  Please, if you are interested let me know....

Wow to bad I live on the other side of globe ,look at the Kaiser with the small 4cyl japanese diesel engine if people think the Kaisers were underpowered with the 226 ! I guess it would top 30mph and alot of smoke and diesel knock.

I think that "four cyinder" is actually one side of a V8.

Looks like a Isuzu engine there are lots of them around up here,for sure its a 4 banger.

I am unable to see the goods that are scheduled for the AZ auction. However, I recall a Kaiser at the Albuquque KF National that had an Isuzu Diesel and I was unable to get to the car and examine it. Perhaps it was this one? KF cars have a habit of turning up even though they go through multiple owners.

This is photo I was refering to so probably not the same one.

I went back and looked again and yes, there is one that is clearly a four cylinder.

Wow, really?  This one here is looking like a 4-banger diesel to me.  Am I messed up?

Is that Kaiser a Virginian or convertible?  Nice either way.

I really like the '37 Chevy as well, for cars from the 30's I've always thought the '37 Chevy had about the best lines of any of them--especially the coupe.

Is that diesel in a '54 Manhattan?!?!

Didn't you hear that classic Mercedes rattle when it started up?
