Période

1954 - 1967

Canada

The Kaiser-Fraiser had a plant in Toronto (Leaside). In fact, it was Reo who had accepted to build Kaiser cars with Reo employees but with Kaiser-Fraser Corp management and sales staff onsite. An extensive Canadian Kaiser-Frazer dealer network already existed for the importations. Reo stopped production in 1952 because of orders from the Canadian government to produce military vehicles for the Korean war. 4107 cars were produced in 1954.

Fonction

Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportaiton.

Technique

An example of a new American automaker to achieve success after WW2. The Manhattan model is a top of the line model. Kaiser-Frazer Corporation was founded in 1945 and presented to the public, along with Studebaker, cars with new styling in comparison with the Big 3 who presented pre-war designs. They also introduced elements standard in their cars that will later be accepted by the automotive industry as standard equipment. They pioneered in the use of dual purpose tail lamps as safety markers as well as stop and directional lights. There were also the first to provide a full instrument panel crash pad as standard equipment. In 1951, a new design was introduced by designer Howard "Dutch" Darrin. It is considered as one of the most beautiful early post-war American designs. The 1954 model was the final version of the 1951 version. They made it supercharged because their previous engine lacked power in comparison with other makers. The last passenger cars were made in 1955.
