1950s American Motors Automobile Commericals Rambler Nash Kaiser Ad Car 

In 1952 and 1953, some Sears stores sold a rebadged Henry J as the Sears Allstate.

In Cuba jitneys which ply the routes between Central Habana and the 'burbs are often such big, "inverted bathtubs" as the Nash "Airflight" They call them "almendrones" (almonds). Most of these cars are unrestored (the nicer restored taxis are usually Chevy, Ford or Dodge convertibles from the late 1950's/early 1960's), although the motors may have been replaced with those of Russian jeeps, etc. They often carry six passengers (even more in a squeeze) and run about $1.00 for a half-hour to 45-minute trip to the terminus of their routes (twice than after dark). I take 'em all the time when I'm in Habana, since the Metro-Buses are something else (i.e. perpetual saunas where you are squeezed in like a tin of sardines). Kaiser-Frasers were amongst the first cars manufactured after W.W.II. As I remember, although roomy, they were not very dependable. A neighbor, in Bala-Cynwyd, PA, used to take her daughters and me to grammar school in the early 1950's, and I remember it breaking down on a number of occasions.

Rex Marshall also presented the Auto-Lite commercials on "Suspense."

Kaiser-frazer was not a part of American Motors in the 1950s. American Motors bought Kaiser Jeep Corporation in 1970.

My wife's aunt & uncle had a 52 Kaiser Manhattan. Must have been quite the car motoring along

By the time the first ads here were being shown for Kaiser, it was already an off-brand that was shrinking - most people would be unlikely to consider it. And there was little demand for smaller cars like the Henry J then, particularly one as homely as it was.

MANNY KAISER, FROM ARLINGTON, MA -- IN MEMORIAM A friend of mine from the Boston area was known as MANNY KAISER. He owned several Kaisers, some of them truly spotless -- driving and looking Brand new. Furthermore, 2 or 3.additional cars -- kind of squalid and delapidated -- were located towards the end of his large backyard. Neverthless, those 2 cars were not ignored derelicts -- according to him, they were royalty just waiting their turn to join the other Royal Famiky members. Many people from Arlington, MA were he lived and from the noble State of MA knew this friendly, popular Kaiser Collector named MANY SOPAS.. He held a Position with MIT, the Famous University on the banks of the Charles Tiver. And was an active Free-Mason collecting funds for Social and Health Projects. Nanely, for their prestigious 25 Hospitals in the USA, notably several units dedicated to the Gravely Burned. More than once he became the Grand-Master of his beloved RUSSELL LODGE, in Arlington. He passed away in the late 90s -- hopefully, his relatives were able to keep the Legacy alive.

Kaiser owned Jeep in that era. AMC bought Jeep from Kaiser in 1970. There's no connection between Kaiser automobiles of the 1950s and Nash Motors Corporation.

Loved the commercials I enjoyed Jiminy Cricket
