Still trying to get caught up on editing and loading up shows, museums, etc. and still put in a bit of time on the Ursus tractor model. Here's a sampling: 1952 Willys Aero Ace, 1940 Packard 160 Super 8, 1948 Frazer Manhattan, 1949 Kaiser Traveler, 1963 Chrysler Imperial Le Baron

That Willys is nice.
That would make a fun "around town" driver.

Packards always make me drool.

hey, I drove one of those Imperials once.
With the Push Button Gear changer
and the Liquid Speedometer
and the Steering Square*.

It was absolutely awful! LOL

*Its not a Wheel because its not round!...its a Square!

With those Imperials I was never sure if I was starting the engine or engaging the hyper-dimensional drive.

Your Kaiser photos bring back memories, Whulsey -- when I was a kid, we had a '52 Henry J. That might well be considered Detroit's first compact car, and it's a shame that it did not have the success of the later Falcons, Corvairs, and Valiants. And wouldn't the Henry J. make a fine model?

The only 25/24 scale Henry J is the Revell drag car which besides having all hot rod parts under isn't the most accurate body. A few people have converted it to a reasonable stock version. For the real one it was late getting to the market and too pricey for what it was...and by then Kaiser was starting to get into financial troubles.

I had a 52 Kaiser Manhattan for about 30 years and am a life member of the Kaiser-Frazer Owners Club so of course would like to see models of all their cars.
