The Kaiser-Frazer Corporation began in 1945, when it was formed as a joint venture between Henry J. Kaiser and Joseph W. Frazer. Their first vehicles rolled off the line in Willow Run Michigan in less than a year after the company was formed. Initially, production numbers were good, but Kaiser-Frazer struggled to keep up with the larger, more established auto manufacturers. This shiny crème over green Kaiser Manhattan is in what appears to be its original paint color scheme. The interior is also very original in appearance, and features the optional 'Bambu' treatment, with dash trim and other trim areas sporting the bamboo-like surface treatment. This Manhattan features what appears to be its original drivetrain, consisting of a 226 CID flathead 6-cylinder engine and a GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

Odometer reads 95,934 miles, an amount believed to be an accurate count considering the originality. The Kaiser Manhattan's sole available engine in 1952 was the 'Supersonic Six,' the long-running L-head six cylinder, single exhaust and a two-barrel downdraft Carter WGD model 781S carburetor. A column-shifted three-speed manual Borg-Warner transmission was standard in Kaiser Manhattans, although, by itself, it was considered a special order. The manual transmission, shared with other Kaisers, is a sturdy unit, and rebuild kits are available from a number of sources. Aside from their bellhousings, the Hydra-Matic transmissions are interchangeable with those in contemporary Buick-Olds-Pontiacs, and are also durable. Kaisers of the early 1950s were well known for the personalization that...
