If you do legal type research (you are looking for the final decision in Federal Appeals Court that closed out Pergement V. Frazer et. al in the Southeastern Michigan District) you will find that the judge's decision includes (at the end) the suggestion that Pergament & the other plaintiffs in the case sue Joseph W. Frazer for improper business practices during the time he was President of Kaiser-Frazer. More details on this are in my book BUILT TO BETTER THE BEST.
The auto industry was changing fast at the end of World War II. Kaiser-Frazer Corporation had to sell well over 100,000 cars a year to come close to breaking even. Production for all of Calendar 1949 came to under 70,000 cars, lower than even Joe Frazer's reduced expectations to hopefully break even. The dealers for various reasons didn't order cars. Frazer cars were available for any dealer or distributor wanting them but after early calendar 1949, production records show little if any demand from the dealer network. Nobody counted on the fact that 4,750 dealers could not sell on average, 1 new Kaiser OR Frazer car a week for the period of the 1949 model year. Nobody expected that in the fall of 1949, the inventory reports sent to the factory by dealers would show several hundred dealers had no new cars in inventory and no new cars on order! Yet that was the state of affairs with the dealers.
