I found one here.  It is a body shop, now.  The IOOF hall, probably
upstairs.

I remember the Kaiser Car.  When I was about five or six, my Dad, fresh out
of the Army Air Force was a mechanic at a Kaiser-Frazer dealership in
Shreveport.

The model I remember the most was the Henry J.

Compact compared to others, I suppose it was about the size as a
Studebaker. They came in other colors, but blue was what I remember.

 I recall a re badged version sold at Sears.

Kaiser was the principle in Kaiser Aluminum, and also built Liberty ships
in WWII.
