Here are some of the styling particulars regarding the Frazer "Gotham"--named bearing a suitable model name, I think, to the "Manhattan" series stolen by Kaiser years before. The turn signals have been designed for the lower part of the headlight shrouds. Instead of a "K" above them, there is a trapezoidial "F" just as in the often-used corporate logo. The grille is a combination of the earlier 51 Frazer production car, and ideas that materialized in styling when a Frazer was to originally appear on the newer Kaiser body. An egg-crate mesh divided grille would be set off with the Frazer heraldry above in a lucite insert similar to the 1951 production car. Instead of a false hood vent, a hood ornament would be fashioned similar to earlier Frazer ornaments which were available. The canted front bumpers have been enriched with two convex wraparound mouldings which echo the more ornate bumpers used by Frazer in the 46-50 models. There is a side fender crease running from the headlight hooded shroud and a "kick-up" crease at the back fender (both similar to the last production Frazer). The tailights are enlarged versions of those which appeared on the original 51 Frazer. The chromed side dip features an adjacent cloisonne Frazer coat of arms, which again appeared on the first Frazers of 46-50. Most importantly, this prototype represents a true 2-door convertible. Can't you just hear Henry or Joe (or both) giving the directive to styling: "Give us some G.D. windows without any f...... frames or glass B pillars! We want this to be our version of the Packard Caribbean."
