Read the KFOCI HANDBOOK section on the history of the Kaiser-Frazer Owners Club International and you can find out all about how the club was formed.  Marilyn Barker is one of the few remaining original members of the club.

Marilyn Barker is one of our earliest members. She acted as Secretary while her husband Paul was president. Their son Larry was the editor of the 2015 club calendar.

Tom Rankine was a president of the club many years ago and had a fondness for the 1947-48 Frazers. For several years, the Rankine trophy was awarded for the nicest 1947 or 48 Frazer attending a national convention.

I own Tom's personal papers and I can tell you from reading thru them that he had a passion about the club and its cars that cannot be duplicated.
