Thanks for showing the attempted 4 door Kaiser model.  Guess the company was not too keen to produce one as they would have learned the flaws in the prototype were quickly apparent.

So, I may have to buy the 2 door model unless a 4 door one (surprisingly) makes an appearence.

It seems to me that no company did offer a 4 door model.

To member: KAISERFRASERLIBRARY.
You mentioned you have photos of the prototype Kaiser 4 door sedan by a Chinese company.
AND that it was planned to be in an upcoming Monthly Bulletin.....(Noted announcement of a new Editor, and unlikely to show the photos as planned in the "FROM THE HISTORIAN" Dept. which may  not continue).

Any possibkility the photos could be shown on this site...OR, emailed to one - (ME) -who would love to see them?

Thanks for the two replies.  As a 'newbie', I appreciate them.
Will also try ebay more often.

Where is " From the Historian column?"  Don't see it.

LEN in Vancouver. (years ago in my neighborhood, there were two Kaisers....one a "Traveller', the other a 4 door......Wasn't really keen at the time or would have taken photos or met owners.

This comment is pretty obvious to you longtime regulars but, I was astounded to find on the Net a huge site of the Argentina  (?) enthusiasts.

 Wonder if any cars  or parts imported from there by Americans.   Lots of individual Kaiser enthusiasts who post photos and comments and own and restore the cars manufactured there.

Had a neighbor in late '40's who had the first Fraser I ever saw.   I didn't have a drivers license but when admiring it to the owner, he said would you wash it for me?  I said sure...HE SAID  DRIVE it around the front where there is a hose!  I gulped, and somehow drove it there!   So, nice memory to drive the Fraser.  Neighbor moved away later...and car.

Have searched Google and only a couple of sites come up.....one :-'DIECASTFAST.COM"showed five Kaisers in choice of colors but in 2 door only.  BUT, nowhere on the site was there an Order form, nor prices, nor any email address to the company.

One company: Highway 61 is Wholesale only and suggest try a retail outlet.

Another site had one but "out of stock'".

Have I missed wide availabliliy by 10 years or so???!!!1

If anyone knows of a site that has them in stock would love to hear from you.
