  5. "The Mad Kaiser" on the hood, would that mean it was powered by an engine from some Kaiser/Fraiser?
     
  6. Ok, I got it, Kaiser Motors (formerly Kaiser-Fraiser), merged with Willys-Overland in 1953, so "The Mad Kaiser" is a nickname for a Willys that I've never heard before. Bitchen find, whatya gonna do with it?

    Wish I could help you out but it does not bring back any memories. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it.

    Nice find.

    A Kaiser motor in C/Gas I don't think so, maybe the owner/driver was named Kaiser. I love it, I would get it together like it is.

    Bought at a garage sale? Now that's a trinket from the 50c box I'd take!

    I'll X2 on not a Kaiser power plant. Perhaps the owner/driver was of German heritage?
