I have the hardcover book version of the 1947 report Floyd Clymer wrote about the Kaiser he bought in Willow Run and drove back to Los Angeles, talking to other Kaiser owners on the way. It includes lots of great photos, specifications, gas milage reports and a 3000 person response survey he sent out. Please let me know if you are interested in buying. I am looking for $30.

Is the complete Floyd Clymer "Independent Test Report and Investigation of Kaiser-Frazer Cars, Deluxe Edition" available anywhere on either this forum or on the CircleKF website? If so, please provide the info so we can view it.
Thanks, and have a wonderful Fourth of July Weekend. (PS A British friend told me this week that they refer to this date as "treason day").

This book comes with a newspaper style or with a cardboard cover or the Special Deluxe version with hard cover. It is an interesting book with lots of information. The early printing has a picture of Earl Muntz as a K-F distributor but later printings removed any mention of him. The pictures of the car that Floyd Clymer purchased shows that he did not get the extra front bumper guards that came with the later assembled Kaisers. All of the photos of the front of the car have the original wide spaced bumper guards but only holes in the bumper where the inner bumper guards were to be placed. I wonder if the dealer removed them from Mr. Clymers car before delivery hoping that he would not know the difference? The cars made before 1/1/47 had only two front bumper guards but Mr Clymer bought his '47 Kaiser on 6/23/47 long after four bumper guards were standard equipment on the cars. Car dealers were often full of tricks like that.
