I am new to the Kaiser world. I recently bought a 54 Manhattan, I am planning to restore this winter. What are good books to read on the
kaiser automobile in genral and what book or books will be helpful in the restoration. I am planning on joining the Kaiser Frazer Club.
Thanx,
Todd

The best book for general Kaiser knowledge is: Th Last Onslaught On Detroit by Richard M. Langworth.

Welcome to the Kaiser Frazer fraternity!  You chose a great car to restore.  Another good book that has a fine history of K-F is Jack Mueller's book "Built to Better the Best" currently available on line.  You will also want to pick up a parts book as well as a service manual and they are often available on eBay.  When you get the Bulletin, the K-F Club publication you will discover many sources for parts.  Good luck with your restoration and check in here if you have questions.  There are many very knowledgable members in the club.

Thanx for the input. I have not got started on it yet, but when I do I'm sure I'll have questions.
