Projects just picked this up

I pulled this out of a barn....been parked since 1964 or longer........it is a 1952 kaiser now to find info on it.....thought I would share some pics and pick some brains.....

 

A rare 2 door sedan. I was under the impression that '51 had the grille bar and '52 had the bumper over-rider but maybe there was some crossover?

I like Kaisers. They have nice lines and would make a nice custom with some carefully placed cuts. I think they're quite under-rated.

 

Use the search feature, there's a few build threads on Kaisers.

 

Your 2 door is scarce - highest production was the 4 door.
There was a 4 door '52 in town when I was growing up. Had a Cad & a hydro in it ... couldn't tell from outside, cause it had 1 pipe & he never washed it or took the snow tires off.

 

Cleaned up rather nicely.

 

inspiration

 

You done good! That car looks fairly solid.Does it run or are you that far along yet?

 

Wow, now that's some inspiration, beautiful car! I look forward to seeing what you do with it, great find!

You need to put it down before you get a hernia! HRP

 

Definitely look up Keith's build thread. One of the best ever on the H.A.M.B.

Very nice! And a two door to boot! I believe the high end model was the Darrin. Good luck with it! Regards, Dave

 

I want one so bad. Good score. Lucky find

Just don't make it look like that pale green thing......

 

Nice find- 2 door Kaisers are hard to come by!

 

this has the darrin emblem on it

 

i will try and find it thanks

 

That has so much potential! Nice score.

 

hasnt run since 64 i think......gonna pull the engine and build a street cruiser out it....I hope

 

Not sure how much room is under the hood - & I mean that literally -, but if you've got a hankerin' for unusual, but well designed/built, Kaiser did do a fairly hi-tech 6, based on its' std Continental mill. Used in the 60's Jeeps: Wagoneer, J10/J15, & then down in Argentina. Anyways, IIRC, had Alum hemi head, roller rockers ,etc, & would rev pretty freely. Had a unique look. Was developed for the military originally. Not a real common mill, but not scarce, either. A friend may still have one, if you're interested. Should take to turbos/supercharging real well. The th400 was made to fit these, I think. Been a long time since I've seen one. But seriously cool mill.
FWIW. Marcus...

 

thanks for the info.....and your right about room there is not much

 

slow progress

 

Nice score. I've liked them since I was old enough to stand.

 

The best threads are the before/after barn find car washes. So much satisfaction.
