There are all kinds of material around relating to Kaiser-Frazer; I mean original materials done when the cars were new. There are a variety of television commercials, for example ranging from late 1947 into the 1954 model year. There are TV programs sponsored by Kaiser-Frazer. There's even a portion of a DuMont network TV program about businesses in America that included Kaiser-Frazer with an interview between the host and Edgar Kaiser. Additionally, there is the original raw footage of a HJ at the GM Proving Grounds being put through its paces. Pieces of the raw footage was used during the 1951 model year in various K-F commercials.
I could put out a good two hours worth of Kaiser-Frazer related original TV materials if I thought people would be interested.

Several years ago, one of the vehicles profiled in a TV series was Kaiser-Frazer; they shot footage and talked to people at the National Convention the year it was in Auburn IN.
Too bad they never bothered to fact check .............
