Beschreibung
By 1952, the company had a large inventory of unsold 1951 models. These were upgraded to 1952 specifications with new front ends, rear fenders, ID plates, and other necessary updates. This particular car is one of those upgraded models. In 1951, only 367 units of this specific variant, the 2-door De Luxe Traveler Utility, were produced. The exact number transferred to the 1952 model year is unknown. The Traveler was only available in the lower series, Special and De Luxe.
This car underwent a restoration in the 1970s in the USA and was given an exterior update to resemble the Kaiser Manhattan. It was imported to Sweden in 2011, and in 2018, it changed ownership, leading to a major restoration project. This included replacing the entire engine block and upgrading the rear axle to a more modern one from the Jeep Wrangler. The body was largely left untouched, and the car passed inspection in 2022.

Zustand technisch
Completely mechanically renovated including suspension and driveline. The engine block replaced with a Willys unit - identical to what Kaiser used. Gearbox with overdrive refurbished. Rear axle replaced with a modern Dana 35C from a Jeep Wrangler. This axle has the same bolt pattern, track width, and is essentially similar to the original axle, including bolted drive shafts. The original axle is included. Also included is a complete compressor kit and various other difficult-to-find parts such as hood hinges, and more.
-
Zustand Interieur
Kaiser-Frazer was generous in offering various interiors, so determining if the upholstery is original is difficult. Seats are intact and the headliner as well. Door panels are frayed and worn. The instrument cluster is from the 1953 model year; the correct one for 1952 is included along with a couple of extra sets of gauges. All gauges function properly, but the radio powers on without producing any sound. In the spacious trunk, the wood slats are in good condition and complete.
-
Zustand Exterieur
According to information, renovated sometime in the seventies, perhaps when it received Manhattan’s trim and emblem. The paint has acquired some blisters, imperfections, and touch-ups over the years and is quite dull. There is some rust here and there but on a limited scale. Chrome is porous, and the driver’s door side window has a crack.
-
Zustand gesamt
A well-functioning car that often becomes the center of attention at car gatherings. Mechanically sound throughout, now it’s the cosmetic aspects that remain to get this rare car into top condition.
