The Kaiser-Frazer Corporation was an American automobile manufacturer established in 1945 by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and automobile designer Joseph W. Frazer. The company aimed to produce affordable cars for the post-World War II market, introducing models like the Kaiser and Frazer. It was known for innovative production techniques and stylish designs. Despite initial success, the company faced financial difficulties in the early 1950s due to competition and changing consumer preferences. By 1955, Kaiser-Frazer ceased automobile production, although it continued to operate in other sectors, including military vehicles and industrial equipment, until its eventual dissolution.
