========================================
Ummm....been a long time since I owned a '51 Kaiser, and I didn't have
it long enough to become knowledgeable, but I'm pretty sure I
remember a couple of things about them.
The Frazer was the sister to the Kaiser, with different sheetmetal.
See
http://forums.aaca.org/misc/443561-Frazer1951.JPG for a picture of
one.
So while there were several Kaiser model names, Frazer wasn't one of
them but rather a different car.
I don't think Continental was used as a Kaiser model name until
later...maybe '54 or '55. I could be wrong about that, though--as I
say, I wasn't an expert even when I had one. I do believe the
underpowered industrial 6-cylinder engine used in the Kaiser was a
Continental.
