It is a 1948 Custom Kaiser 4 Door Sedan. It might also be confused with the 1947 Kaiser 4 Door Sedan. But, because on the side it is clear the word Custom, I would bet it is the 1948 Kaiser model. Sometimes it is also confused with the 1949 Kaiser 4 Door Sedan. The 1949 grill on the front was a little bit different. Other might confused the car with the Frazer Sedan of 1947,48 or 49. Read below. Additional information about the car: The Kaiser - Frazer Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on August 9, 1945. The principals, Henry J. Kaiser , the famous western indutrialist, teamed up with Joseph Frazer, an old hand in the auto industry, to build cars bearing their names. Kaiser - Frazer cars were built between 1946 and 1955 in the United States. The marque was reborn as the Kaiser Carabela in Argentina in 1958, along with the Willys line of vehicles, having been acquired by Kaiser in 1953. Kaiser stopped building passenger cars in the United Sates in 1955, after about 735,000 cars had been built. Kaiser continued to build the Jeep until 1970, when the line was sold to American Motors. The 1947 Kaiser debuted in late 1946. The 1948 model has the distinction of having the single highest production run of any KF model, about 93,000 cars. The 1947-48 Frazer was nearly identical to the Kaiser. Except for it's grille and interior, they are the same car. The initial idea was for Kaiser and Graham Paige Frazer to operate in the same plant, share expenses, but market two different cars. I hope this answers your question about the car.
