The first postwar Kaisers appeared in 1947, and they were truly remarkable. By design, they featured a number of firsts, and through engineering, they featured fantastically advanced materials, equipment and build quality. The Special was the entry-level model but left little for customers to miss. This one is powered by the 226 CI engine, 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a single-disc clutch. The groundbreaking body is presented in black and was designed by Howard “Dutch” Darrin. Equipped with the original fog lamps, the car also features bumper guards, full-size wheel covers, wide whitewall tires and an original radio. Of particular interest is the Art Deco vibe within the Special, especially surrounding the steering wheel. These first-generation Kaisers have long been overshadowed by vehicles from The Big Three, as well as other independent competition, but many agree, very few come close to offering postwar America such a modernly styled and constructed automobile, making them very special indeed.
