Mine came in the mail this morning and as usual our Editor, Jack Mueller did a fine job. It has several stories and articles about our favorite cars and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Think about sending Jack a story about you and your Kaiser-Frazer-Willys car. It is a fun read and we all learn something new.

I will keep looking for it. Can’t Wait.

We've had very positive feedback from a couple other people who don't usually post on the forum about itl so far people like it.
Here's a teaser about an upcoming article for the spring or summer 2019 issue. It's about Kaiser-Frazer on television sponsoring network TV shows (they even had a 6 month run on the nbc blockbuster variety series YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS on NBC) and the spot TV commercials provided to dealers or distributors for local use on individual TV stations.
The 1953 Kaiser Manhattan frame is from a 1953 model year spot TV film commercial for the Kaiser Manuattan The frame fromn the 1954 Kaiser ad is off a kinescope print of the 1954 model year AUTO-LITE PARADE OF STARS TV special on CBS Next is the 1`950 calendar year open for the ELLERY QUEEN program sponsored by K-F on the DuMont Network affiliates. Rex Marshall does a live TV commercial for Kaiser-Frazer dealers on a late 1951 ELLERYU QUEEN show kinescope. The 1952 HJ Corsair frame is off one of the 1952 spot TV Henry J commercials and the 1947 K-F ad was available as a spot film item for local dealer use and may have been used on the first TV show Kaiser-Frazer Sponsored, THE ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR on the DuMont TV network of 6 network owned and operated stations in January 19487.

This was the first issue of the QUARTERLY where I had various items from members to work with. To kedep this kind of thing up, I need stories from members...how or why you got started with K-F or Willys, a bit about what's in your collection with a special note on the rarely seen or unusual equipment on vehicles, etc. Also, service tips are needed...what kind of fixes did you come up with to get around a tough service snag, etc. I cannot use stories about members, cars, etc, from newspapers or other places unless written clearance for use comes from the copyright holder on the material.
