In 1951, Kaiser-Frazer Sales Corporation signed up with LaFontaine-Detroit to offer a program of sales-stimulating (as the British would say) posters under the series title "The Hottest Brand of Service". The program continued into the mid 1950's the only difference being the little K-F logo on them became a K-W logo. Something to watch for at National Conventions and at regular swap meets (when they come back). A couple samples including the first of the series (with the large branding iron)

These are great Jack ... do you own these??

I have 4 of these; I also have 1 for Kaiser-Willys Anti-Freeze that gives that product name but shows a drawing of Kaiser-Frazer anti-freeze; release number suggests this is an October 1953 poster and reflects the transition between K-F and K-W. The other is from the winter of 1951-52 and shows a 1951 Henry J (red) parked in the background with a girl skating on a frozen pond.
Larry Barker got a number of other items when he bought out a former K-F distributorship years ago. We've talked from time to time about re-printing them on a standard 24 x 36 sheet. Problem is there are so many choose from it's like parts for the Manufacturing Fund. A number of individuals want them but only certain ones and only 1 copy. Not enough to make a print run feasible. I want to talk to Larry on this when I see him at the National Convention this year (he said he is coming with parts to sell).
