In a previous entry I posted one of my Kaiser models in three colors. While Kaiser is pretty well represented in my collection, the Frazer is not. I have three. Since the Frazer make was only offered from 1946-1951. When Joseph Frazer left the Kaiser-Frazer Company, Henry Kaiser concentrated on the Kaiser brand only and phased out the Frazer in 1951, which were basically updated unsold 1950 models.
With that, this model is one of the three in my collection. As with the similarly styled Kaiser models, this one is a prized model in my collection. I had seen photos of this model at some point a few years ago, and even saw one or two on eBay, but they were outside of my reach. In 2020, when an eBay seller OldToyStoreUSA was selling the Dick Browne Collection, an opportunity came my way. The model was mine, and a wonderful model it is.

What I loved most about those post-war Kaisers and Frazers was those huge cloisonné nose badges, especially the Frazer family crest. "Je Suis Prêt" means " I AM Ready".
