This new book by veteran auto writer Patrick Foster- America’s
spokesman for independent cars- tells the full story of Kaiser-Frazer’s
struggle to succeed in an industry that killed so many competitors.
One year after announcing plans to enter the automobile business with
an all-new car Kaiser-Frazer production began. The cars were an immediate
hit. Thousands lined up to see and buy the new Kaiser and Frazer cars.
In time K-F introduced hardtops, sedans, convertibles, an impressive
fiberglass sports car and a line of low-priced compact cars.
But competition eventually proved overwhelming and Kaiser-Frazer production
ended. The company itself survived by purchasing Willys-Overland, and
building Jeep vehicles instead of cars.The Kaiser-Frazer story is a tale of exciting ideas, bold plans, and
thwarted ambition. A heartbreaking yet uplifting allegory of men and
automobiles during the most exciting era the industry has ever known.
