Title: how to attach picture?
Post by: studeynut on January 14, 2011, 12:54:38 PM: I am new to the club. I saved 4 Kaiser/ Frazers from the crusher this last fall, and wanted to get some opinions on the first one I'm working on, a 48 Frazer business coupe. Yes, I've modified it, but it was already stripped out, so I don't feel bad about customizing it. Would like to post a picture, but can't seem to get it to work. The "HELP" section wasn't much help. Any body have some tips? ??? Bill

1. Original paint and interior material
2. Type of transmission
3. Factory installed options
4. Other aspects of the cars based on model year.

My daughter and a friend, both with more computer knowledge, tried with no success. Maybe its my computer?,don't know. Would still love to show my 48 Frazer business coupe project, if I e-mailed pictures, would someone post them for me? Bill at studeynut@yahoo.com

An alternative would have been to move the top forward and cover over the exposed area. Check out photos of a c.1947 Chrysler Business Coupe and see the alternative as a production car.

Now, our extended family had a lot of Dodges and Plymouths of all configurations in the 50s, and I have to say that I much prefer the lines of this project to the business coupes/Wayfarers/humpbacks/wagons etc etc that were put out by Chrysler of that era. MUCH! MORE!

Post by: studeynut on January 23, 2011, 01:27:41 PM: Thanks Les for putting the pictures on for me. The body was shortened 18 inches, the front of side window was lowered 2 inches, and 1 1/2 inches in back, the roof above the rain gutters was lowered another 2 1/4 inches. I have a newer chassis that it will go onto next.

The St Regis body had an extended length door that when opened allowed (tight) access to the rear seat without folding the back of the front seat.
