You can find Kaiser-Frazer Owners Club International at

http://www.kfclub.com/

From that link you can likely find someone close by with the knowledge and the parts to help you get that Manhattan back on the road.

The '48 Frazer is a fine-looking automobile for its time. Kaiser-Frazer was producing entirely new cars at a time when most American manufacturers -- except Studebaker -- were selling pre-war vehicles with a few cosmetic trim changes.

i last sat in one of these about 58 years ago, wishing i could drive it. It would be good to have one now.

i'm with Tom the Beater -- i say, Go for it! It'll make a pretty piece to drive, and others will enjoy seeing it.

God's Peace to you.
