More Information on the '48 Kaiser Custom
« on: December 22, 2012, 10:51:48 PM »
Some of you may have seen the Kaiser body/data tag that was on ebay a few weeks ago. I noticed right away it was off a 1948 Kaiser Custom (model K482), a very rare car. The price was right and there were no bids so I decided to snatch it up.  Kaiserfrazerlibrary, you may be interested in this tag for historical data.
It's model K482, Body 5, Paint 101 (Onyx), Trim 221 (Maroon Broadcloth, Magenta Maroon IP), TR 1 (which means this '48 Custom was equipped with overdrive), RA 1 (4.27:1 rear axle), SCHED 119, ITEM NO 385, Body Number 2224

Interesting info. If you want the tag I will donate it to the library, otherwise I'll hang onto it but I don't really collect them.
1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe
Edgar Kaiser's custom 1951 Henry J
1951 Kaiser Special
1952 Allstate Deluxe

There is no Kaiser-Frazer Owners Club Library.  The materials I use are my own, most of it purchased over the years out of my own pocket.  There was no club library of materials when I became Club Historian and none will exist when I go

Of course I was referring to donating it to the member who goes by "library" and not an phyciscal building which I am well aware does not exist.  My offer still stands.
