Pics: Kaisers in scale

A '51 Kaiser I spotted in Kilmarnock, Virginia last summer among three versions of Brooklin's '53 Kaiser in my collection.

I like Kaisers, and have several. The 1:1 looks pretty good, too. A favorite: (pic)

I always thought that was a very handsome styling job.

But even as a kid, I knew that it was a "nothing" in terms of technology. Too bad.

Nice! Someone once said, "Slap a Buick nameplate on them and they'd sell a million of 'em"

I really like the Brooklin Kaiser models. I have a few of them.

Interesting comment, Randy, 'cause Kaiser in '54 slapped on a grille lifted from the Buick XP 300 concept car! That '54 Manhattan is the only Brooklin Kaiser I have, but it's my favorite of all of the Brooklin Kaisers.
