Title: K-F Corp. authorized calendars
Post by: Gordie on October 06, 2018, 04:25:50 PM

Kaiser-Frazer authorized official calendars for the dealers to give away to customers and prospects at least from 1949 through 1953.  Does anyone know of official ones for any other years?  Many dealers had their own calendars made also and there was quite a variety of them printed in many styles.

Of the local variety, I have several produced by an International Harvester Kaiser-Frazer- Willys dealer. The latest I have is 1955 and it displays, among IH tractors and equipment, the 1955 Manhattan.

A calendar from a dealer for 1955 cars is most unusual since illustrated calendars would have had to have been printed by October of 1954.  I wonder how he knew what the new '55's would look like?  There seems to be no end to interesting promotional items made by the dealers to give to their buyers.  I hope that they keep turning up!
