I always thought these were neat. I'd do this in 1/24.

The front looks like a big brother to the Henry J and the back looks like someone forgot it needed tail lights and they were added on. I still think it is a neat car.

People really should have bought more Kaiser-Frazers.

What a great design!

Very cool! I have the two tone green Manhattan Sedan from Esval in 1:43. Bought it from a friend here.

Very rare. Didn't they only make a few hundred of these convertibles?

Hemmings article says 131 of this model were built. The base price was $3075, which in 1951 was an extremely high price.
The article rightly mentions this could have been the reason few were sold, but low engine power for this heavy car was also a reason.
Total Frazer production of all models combined was 9931 in 1951.
