General Discussion / Last Kaiser Search

« on: August 26, 2023, 06:00:27 PM »

 I just saw on Ebay, a postcard that speaks of the very last produced Manhattan. Apparently it went back to Toledo in 1987. What I found interesting was the fact that someone actually printed a post card with the Vin # of that car, and traced the owners back. The vin shown is 5136711022, truly making it a 55. Does KFOCI have a clue where that car is now? The seller of the post card is listed on Ebay as kfdragon53.... obviously tied in with K/F.
 I would be REALLY interested in knowing where that car is now!
 Any suggestions for research would be appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Some have one circle in the lense ... some have two circles in the lense?

Why are there two versions of the lense?

Collector's Corner / CIRCLEKF Swap Meet

« on: December 02, 2021, 07:29:25 PM »

The CircleKF Swap Meet is open and looking for Vendors.  I would like to start the debate on the default values of the various TYPES of KFW Documents.  The attached pdf document shows the values initially assigned to each type of KFW document. It should also be noted that within every TYPE a few documents are worth more or less than the default value assigned to the type, the ability is there to assign a specific value to that document.

If you believe some TYPES are worth more or less ... lets discuss it.

Collectible Automobile is one of the premium Car Magazines out there today.

We have built a list of articles about Kaiser-Frazer-Willys Vehicles in this magazine and thought we would share it.

Most of these magazines are readily available on Ebay.  Search out the Name of the magazine, month and year.

If you are aware of K-F-W articles we have failed to add to the list PLEASE share the info.

Willys Forum / Willy Overland Union Contract

During last year's Convention, Rick Kamen handed me a Willys-Overland Union Contract Booklet from late 1951 for scanning and posting to CIRCLEKF.COM.  I finally got it done.  It contains some interesting topics.  Boy have things changed.

Collector's Corner / Together We Build Pins

« on: February 08, 2018, 11:10:34 AM »

Across all Kaiser's various businesses they had year of service pins.
They seem to be of similar design but they vary in materials they are made of.

Do not be lured into purchasing them because of their gold content as all of them I have found are gold plated not solid gold, even the 40 years pins.
