I fired up the engines on my Kaiser’s and took them out for a photo shoot.  Can you imagine the Brooklin of  today doing a car like this?

Standard Brooklin Manhattan (above) became this (below) after  John Ellis  did this outstanding conversion into a Dragon

Here are all the standard Brooklin Kaiser Manhattans

Brooklin also did a taxi  and there have been several Code 3  models  done by various modelers.

 

My thanks to John Ellis for posting pictures of his magnificent ‘53 Dragon conversion. I would love to add that beautiful Dragon to my collection of Kaisers!
