We had a 1948 Kaiser (which I barely remember, as I was born in 1948 and Dad got rid of it in 1952 or 1953). Google tells me the original MSRP for the '48s ranged from about $1200 to about $2500. The only other thing I know about Kaisers is that Henry Kaiser started the car company in order to have a guaranteed outlet for Kaiser steel-the cars were allegedly among the heaviest passenger care on the road.
