	{{List of Kaiser Models}}'''~~Use~~ the ~~following MAKE TEMPLATE~~ as ~~the foundation for your Wikicars~~' [[~~List of Manufacturers\|Automobile Make~~]] ~~page:~~'''		{{List of Kaiser Models}}'''Kaiser Motors''', a subsidiary of '''Kaiser Industries''', was a manufacturer of automobiles in the United States from 1946–1963 based in Willow Run, Michigan (USA). The company was also known as '''[[Kaiser-Frazer]]''' from 1946 to 1951.

	~~Start off~~ with ~~a brief~~ ''~~Introduction~~'' to the ~~company~~. ~~This would be a good place to create a table of company statistics and share any other relevant tidbits of information and factoids about~~ the ~~company~~.		Its founders, [[Henry J. Kaiser]] was a United States industrialist and [[Joseph W. Frazer]], president of the Graham-Paige Corporation started making an [[automobile]]s with the brand names '''Kaiser''' and '''Frazer''' after World War II. Kaiser-Frazer also built a small car called the [[Henry J]], named for Henry Kaiser. The [[Henry J]] was also sold through Sears-Roebuck catalogs under the brand name Allstate.

	~~==History==~~		In 1951 after too many disputes with Henry Kaiser, Joseph Frazer left Kaiser-Frazer and K-F was reorganized in 1952 under the name Kaiser Motors. In 1953, Kaiser purchased the assets of the Willys-Overland Corporation, makers of Willys cars and Jeep vehicles, and in 1954 merged the automotive manufacturing assets of both Kaiser and Willys under the name of Willys Motors, Incorporated.

	==~~Future Models~~==		==Vehicles==
	~~Next, comes the ''Future Models'' section. In this section, list any upcoming models or future plans for the company.~~

	~~==Current Models==~~		'''Kaiser''' includes Deluxe, Carolina, Traveler, Dragon and Manhattan sedans.

	~~==Discontinued Models==~~		'''Darrin''', the first production fiberglass sports car in the USA, beating Corvette to market by one month.
	~~Companies undergo new model line-ups and refresh models depending on~~ market ~~trends. Models that have been retired or are no longer in production should be listed here~~.

			'''Allstate''', designed to sell through and by Sears-Roebuck Department stores in the southern USA, a slightly restyled Henry J. The cars were equipped with Allstate products (tires, battery, etc.). The modest styling changes distinguishing the Allstate from the Henry J were executed by [[Alex Tremulis]], the designer of the [[Tucker]].

			Production of '''Kaiser''' and '''Willys''' automobiles ceased during the 1955 model year, but production of [[Willys]] [[Jeep]]s in Toledo, Ohio continued. Kaiser continued automobile production in Argentina under the [[Industrias Kaiser Argentina]] ([[IKA]]) name and in Brazil under the [[Willys do Brasil]] name, using the dies formerly employed in the U.S. well into the 1960s.

			The company changed its name to [[Kaiser-Jeep]] in 1963. By 1969, Kaiser Industries decided to leave the auto business, which was sold to [[American Motors Corporation\|American Motors]] in 1970. As part of the transaction, Kaiser acquired a 22% interest in AMC, which it later divested. Included in the sale was the General Products Division, which Kaiser had purchased from [[Studebaker]] in 1964 as it prepared to leave the auto business itself. AMC renamed the division [[AM General]], which still operates today, and is best known as the manufacturer of the [[Hummer]].
