I am aware of 2 Forums that display vintage automotive photos.
One of these is Yenko http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=312145#Post312145
The other is http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=150
If you were to go to yenko.net or jalopyjournal.com, you would not find a link to this content so that is why I say these are HIDDEN.
I would urge you explore both although there is some overlap of posted photos. There are plenty KF and KW photos.

Thanks for these!
-
Cool, Thanks!

Great pictures on those sites. I could look at them all day. How many of you would allow this on your '51 Kaiser?

Alden Jewell lives in Yuba City CA and has one of the largest auto literature collections, automobile related postcards, and auto ad collections and really enjoys providing the site for collectors. Look for continual additions. He will be at the K-F meet in San Diego.

And can you spot the Kaiser in this photo?

I looked up several of the pix mentioned in the post and the ones from the 50's are really nice. If you want to also see pictures (not as old) of the IKA Argentina Kaisers of the past, check out the following link: http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Argentina/index.html
The funeral Kaisers are really weird.

This one's interesting too

And here's another good one

I like this one. Based on the 'Hotel Astor' sign, I'd say the city is South Beach, Florida. There's a Kaiser and Henry J in the photo -

Beware I became addicted to the h.a.m.b. link I could not stop watching these fantastic pics of yesterday!One reflection I made that the Kaiser 51-54 weren't very common on the street scene.Thanks.

How about this one?

Deer hunting in a '49/'50 Kaiser. Cool

Subject: The Darrin prototype that was connected to the 1st series Kaiser & Frazer.

Posts #8420, 8421, 8423. These are photos that aren't commonly known.
This an idea car but my opinion is it looks clunky both from dimensions and execution. The front wheel cut out is just STUPID! And Howard was pissed that KF made changes?
-
I don't recall ever seeing those Darrin pics before. Thanks for posting...
-
I have several pictures of the Darrin car and they do not show the front wheel wells cut out as in these photos. It was a pretty neat car for it's day! The design was from 1946! I think that Dutch lived on one of the canyon roads above UCLA and it used to flood the roads frequently when it rained in the winter and this car was destroyed in one of the floods.
-
Wheel Well Cutouts: Have you ever noticed the rear wheel cutouts on a 39 Hudson 112? They look similar to the front wheel cutouts on the Darrin idea car. Just like women's skirts, car stylists go through 'trends.' Most of this 'trends' are down right BAD. For instance, in the late 40s-early 50s stylists wanted to make the rear lights as small as possible. From 1953 to 1962 it was 'wrap around windshields.' My knee recalls the pain of the 59-60 GM 'dogleg' associated with those stupid windshields. The baroque opera windows in the 70s were quickly dated but relatively benign.
-
For lots more neat old pix, go to life.com and do a search for 'custom cars'. That'll bring up links to several different collections of images that includes many images of the Frazer protoype that Dutch did for KF and another of a bunch of guys standing atop a Woodill Wildfire. Proabably to prove the worth of the fiberglass body.

Any idea of where this KF Dealership was?(http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/1c67f18da97ab113_landing)

Pretty photo--love the frazer on the roof.
-
Looks more like a permanent advertising kiosk set up there to show off the newest models rather than the dealership itself, if you look closely. It resembles something I've seen before from other angles.... Downtown San Fransisco? Checkout Jack Mueller's book "Built to Better the Best" on page 86 perhaps.

There is something subtly different about this stationwagon...
Yes, it is converted to a track inspection vehicle, but if you look close, it is a 4 door.
I have seen photos of similar wagons before and further down the page there is even a 51-54 converted.
So this isn't a one-off vehicle. It makes one wonder why the railroad bothered to have the bodys converted and conversely, why Willys didn't offer a factory 4 door.

Looks like a GP Frazer with four bumper gaurds -
