This took 2 years of hard work on my part, and almost didn't make deadline because my laptop crashed and a number of items had to be re-created. As a result, the astute will note a few typos, etc, here and there which will be corrected on the next release which, if all goes well, will be somewhere around 2014. It will either be version 4.1 with corrections and some additional information, or 5.0 which will open to a welcome page when put into the computer drive. This welcome page will also have a link to a master index that in turn will hook into the individual files so you will just have to click on a subject...now you will have to open folders yourself. I couldn't get a macro to work for these functions.
Mike Barker, Larry Hinrichs and a few others were very helpful in allowing me access to their collections of photos and factory information to fill some of the gaps. However, I know there is still information missing, such as Confidential Bulletins with dealer ordering information from the last months of 1950 (which may include some significant 1951 HJ information), the spring of 1949 and the 1954 model year (all makes/models). If people are willing to share, they can e-mail me a list of what they have and I can e-mail back my list to see about trading good photocopies so both sides can expand their information base. I am also looking for copies of certain pages found within Kaiser-Frazer Corporation Operating Reports for 1949, 1951, 1952 and into 1953.
