History
Kaiser Deluxe Convertible
The Kaiser Deluxe Convertible represented the optimism of post-war American industry with its wide, low profile and upscale trim. Kaiser-Frazer Corporation emerged from World War II surplus factory capacity and challenged Detroit's established order. The convertible featured a power-operated top and luxurious interior materials that competed with more expensive V8-powered rivals. Despite innovative engineering and styling, Kaiser struggled against the marketing power of the Big Three and ceased production by the mid-1950s.
