1951 Kaiser Special is Outside! More Glass replaced, and More Tidying! Plus: Cat Update with Tom...

Hi guys! Short one today... I need to make some room, so we're going to get this sweet old 1951 Kaiser Special tidied up and put it on the lot! First thing we need to do is install some unbroken glass... I had some help, so we decided to get it out of the barn for a closer look... Good thing Tom is here to make sure it goes according to plan!
Thanks so much to everyone who ordered a 1937 Chevy shirt! They are being shipped now! Cheers from me and Miss Frankers!
See you on Saturday for the SOS...

Hey Scott, glad to see the Kaiser catch some air and sunshine.... that body design is really something - someone sat down with pencil and paper, and drew what they wanted to see. Now, you've got some soulless dweeb punching abstract degrees and angles into a computer. And the end result is the overpriced, underwhelming crap of the 21st century. Enough rant - I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you and everyone connected with CWM does to keep the classics on the road. I hope to add to your "Mail Call" stash, and with my b-day roughly three weeks away, I am looking forward to getting my '37 Chevy T-shirt. Cheers from the Land of Lincoln!

[@jack002tuber]

Nice seeing you install WINDOWS here, I didn't even know it had a computer

[@Rudedog75]

You guys are so lucky to have a “Hulk” aka Myles.. Good to hear Frankers new mom, “Honeybunny” constantly lookin out for her! Cheers!

[@FarginBastiges]

Nice musical tidy montage! That Kaiser is a beauty and it's great to see it out in the sunshine. +5 points to Hunnybunny's patience.

[@JimmyWatches2102]

Tom is the neighbor we all wish we had.

[@stevewuertz3598]

In the early 1960s I spent a lot of time at my grandparents home in a small town. I'd accompany my granddad on neighborhood walks. Granddad held a grudge against birds who were fouling car paint and having a good throwing arm he used to fling rocks into their nesting area to discourage them from setting up shop. 8 year old me standing next to him one day reached down and promptly flung a rock into his neighbors red Kaiser breaking a rear glass window. Then came the long walk to their front door to fess up. Sixty years on and I can remember every bit of it.

[@davidwiggins3451]

Yup. Been there myself.

[@corey6393]

That is a great memory. Not necessarily what happened, but everything around it.

[@MikeyMack303]

I vote "YES" to see the "51 Kaiser running again!

[@charleykeenan6171]

73 years ago that was someone's pride and joy! What a beautiful car. Glad you are there to save some of these reminders of a time gone by. Love the Thursday episodes!

[@badstep7637]

Sooo glad you turn back to the roots I found your channel - KAISER 51 .. these cars where way ahead of its time : x- frame, and lower stance ,better breaks than most competitors, roomy like a lounge club and with big glas portions, styling like 60s in Europe. I have 2 of em 53 Traveler and 54 Manhattan with all options to it . Loved to see you making a daily low budget restore of that Frazer years before. Would love to come around for havin a beer with you smart and easy guy. Keep heavy steel alive and in mind for the next generations. Thank you so much for great content from Germany.Your channel makes rainy odd days a comfortable happening

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Tom always has the BEST stories! He's a great story teller!

[@patricklynch1962]

If the floor and frame of the Kaiser Special is as solid as the visible part of the body appears to be, I think it'd be sweet to make a driver out of it with whatever engine that will run and move it under its own power along with the usual safety things like working brakes. Something along the lines of the Frazer. I'd say at this point Hunny Bunny isn't just a good sport, but an outright treasure. Love hearing Tom's stories about rescuing cats which makes me respect him even more.

[@davidacks8014]

You could install an Olds Rocket V8 like the factory was working on.

[@takoma5]

Look forward to see this Kaiser running again 😊

[@michaelmullen8373]

The Kaiser has a wonderful design and the color really compliments the design... you have a great eye and another great save.... looks like a good companion for the ol Frazier!

[@jerryuptmor2826]

The Kaiser is a very good looking car for it's time, and the Fraiser too. It's interesting that they did not sell a lot better. Wonder what happened there. Did they suffer the same fate as Tucker? I remember that the Henry J was more commonly seen than it's bigger siblings. At least, in Corpus Christi, Tx. where I lived. Thanks to Scott, HunnyBunny, Tom, and Frankers. You make my day.

[@rivenmotors7981]

Nice to excavate another car from its resting place and bring it into the sunlight. Like Tom's kitty realizing there's a whole world for it to experience I hope you can get it shuffling itself around well again. And a tractor dwarf shirt with Tom giving directions would immortalize him (need to make two types -one with the swears and one without) Cheers brother!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Love the look of these old Kaisers. Like you say, very ahead of its time back then.

[@danielulz1640]

Hunny Bunny took her life into her own hands steering that Kaiser. Tractor Gnome is a speed demon! Nice to see Frankers being so helpful.

[@Buickjef-q8y]

Tom ain’t taking any chances of his pants falling down ….. rockin’ a belt AND suspenders ! Great to see the Kaiser in the light of the day….gotta get Dean back in the scene too! Looking forward to Saturday’s broadcast

[@terrylandburg6038]

Cool old car. My dad loved Kaisers he had a 48, 51, 54 with the super charger.

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

Hi Scott, I like the Kaiser, what a unique car design, with heart shaped windscreens front & rear. Would love to see it run and move under it`s own power, body looked fairly straight, little rust along the low line areas. You sure helped save it by keeping inside since some of the side glass was broke out completely. Honey Baby, is a big help, I think she`s a car girl 👍👍👍

[@timwerner7771]

@13:40. To determine pos. or neg. ground look at the hole in the end of the battery cable. I think that the negative post is always smaller in diameter. My old '48 Packard was "positive ground"

[@markbowen3638]

That Kaiser is a nice-looking car. In the early 50's you'd have been more than happy to have it on your drive! Definitely deserves a 'will it start '.

[@anthonyshelton6786]

always smart to remember to move the cars out of the way before rolling cars around and that Kaiser looks much better with a bit of a tidy and glass not missing chunks I am probably part of the large crown of "would be cool to hear that run." and it would be very nice to see it lumber around the yard till saturday and more Biscala have fun out there.

[@viwheel]

All these Kaiser cars with the visual touch from Howard Darrin are very nice to come across. I'll stay in tune in case this one get some future improvements!👍

[@gregrussell5374]

Tom is awesome to have around. So cool to have a supervisor. That’s a worthy Kaiser.

[@juliancrooks3031]

Glad to see the Kaiser getting some love. It's a cool looking car

[@scottbennier1335]

Yeah, the Kaiser needs to be brought back to life ✅

[@garyphillips7993]

Kudos to HB for getting in the Kaiser. My Mrs wouldn’t have gone anywhere near it until it had been completed detoxified of any smells, spiders & critters!

[@mikemullay5622]

I definitely want to see the Kaiser running, even if only around the yard.

[@Onteo1]

Coldwar motors hit 66k ! 🎊 🎉

[@Awsom47Merc]

Henry J. Kaiser built Liberty ships to counteract losses by German and Japanese navys. So the Kaiser has a grudge against Japanese. Good thing Ash moved his Datsun or the Kaiser may have Torpedo T Boned it ! 🤭👍 Thanks for doing something with it. It should park next to the Frazer as they were linemates at Kaiser Frazer Willow Run plant. Cheers 🍺🤛😎👍

[@michaelblaszkiewicz7283]

The Kaiser is perfect for this years winter beater challenge.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Hey Scott, never thought I be 9 years older than a 51 Kaiser! Those Kaiser/Frasier cars were odd balls back in the day and fairly rare when new. It's great to see a survivor come back to life! It took some 'nads to own and drive a Studebaker, Hudson, Henry J, Kaiser, Frasier, Nash or even a La Salle in my Baltimore County neighborhood but of course I gravitated to the guys that had the taboo units including the Model A's that were only 20 years old back then! Your collection represents all of that and much more! I drive a 97 pickup and a 98 sedan both older than those A's! Sadly I sold my fully restored 66 VW last year. Mega Cheers for you, Honey Bunny, Tom and all the agents for keeping the dream alive!!

[@davidcoudriet8439]

Where else can you see so many interesting cars together? It's weekly fun. Thanks!

[@diydave3034]

Love that Kaiser front end. So simple and distinctive. Thanks.

[@rodjames2]

Kind of an orphan brand and very cool. As a kid in the fifty's my neighbor was a Kaiser salesman and always one. He brought home a couple of Manhattans and they were really beautiful. They offered more options than the usual brands to be more competitive.

[@awkwarddude]

Hadn't seen many Kaisers at all over the years growing up in rural Pittsburgh in the 50s. That is a uniquely styled car. Nice to see her get some love and daylight, Scott. For sure you've gone this far, do some more detective work and get her running so she like some of your others can move under her own power when necessary. If the Chrysler can, the Kaiser can! On to Saturday...

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Yeah man, I'd like to see that Kaiser going!

[@daniellaris3772]

What a great car. Thanks for the Show.

[@grumbo39]

What an amazing looking car, so sleek for the 50s!! I'd never heard of a Kaiser car, (only the one from WW1 lol) , I can't believe you let her sit so long, and once again you bring her 'back to life' with some cosmetic repairs and 'serviceable' tyres!! :) I really hope you get her running, would be nice to see TWO Kaiser winter beaters, you're show is definitely becoming an icon for this era of motoring, I still folks about how you rebuilt the Fury, what you started with and how you did the triple splice. Superb!! Loving Honeybunny being your new 'regular' on the show every week, long may it continue!! :) Wish you were in Scotland!! G.

[@JorgeFernandez-uc9qb]

That is a handsome car, and I vote for trying to get her started. So glad you had Tom there to help. He is a treasure. Honey Bunny is a great help, and she gets a thumb's up from me for hanging around the bunch of you. I am looking forward to the exciting episode on Saturday from the Masters of Motoring Mayhem from the North. Cheers!

[@blainehalley2201]

We definately want you to do more work on your wonderful KAISER and will pray it is running soon. Back in 1952 dad bought a Kaiser for my mom to drive when he went to Korea. There weren't many back in the hill country of Ohio. Dad liked it. Mom not so much. It was the last time Dad bought a car unbeknownst to mom! 😎 p.s. You inspired me to buy and jump into a '71 FIAT Spider roadster project here in Santa Cruz, CA. Love you all.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Good luck with your ride.I like the looks, and mechanics of the Spiders then.

[@rivenmotors7981]

Hey Blainehalley, there's a number of us Fiat nerds doing projects in the area. I'm friends with a couple guys in Santa Cruz, one doing a 124 coupe project and another doing an X1/9. I'm over in Prunedale doing a 128. Lot's of love for Scott and his channel.

[@hojo70]

You definitely have to try to get that thing running!

[@oldyellow8120]

I'd love to see the Kaiser run! Always enjoy Tom and updates on the cats. He didn't get to finish his story today. The three things I like best: Cars, Cats, and Coffee.

[@BoomerBrown-jt5hy]

Cars, Cats, Coffee and Cold War Motors! 🙂

[@oldyellow8120]

@@BoomerBrown-jt5hy Yep! That's a given. Tom is a REALLY good guy to look after strays. I have two that I've been looking after for several years. They are cool to have around. Dan and Jim both have cats too!

[@AlanG58]

I always love seeing a Kaiser like this, it's one of my favorite cars in the fleet. Would it be at all possible, I realize you're only working on 22 other things - to dust the roof in back to the original cream color? That would really make it pop! Also, Tom rules for saving all these cats!

[@davidwiggins3451]

Always a pleasure to see the Foreman hard at it. Also, to say that Hunnybunny is a good sport is a gross understatement. She is an absolute treasure. I've not had the pleasure to be in the company of many (okay, any) woman who'd crawl under the carcass of a late 50s flattop Buick to claw out parts known and unknown. Every time I get a glimpse of her countenance on the CWM silver screen, I secretly hope that I'll be fortunate enough to meet a lady with half her talent and obvious taste in all things sorta-motive.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Cold Water Motors Scott :) Frankers The Dog 🐕, Honey Bunny :) , Tom The Boss :) , Ash :) , Myles :) , help move around the 1951 Kasier car and put nice windows in too ! See You All on Saturday Night Show Down Too !

[@squablow]

Probably my favorite car on "the lot", would love to see this one get put back on the road in a similar fashion as the Frazer was. Very pretty lines.

[@TestECull]

Man that Kaiser would be an amazing driver. The sort of 50s classic you aren't afraid to send into traffic every day. Good enough condition to trust it, but juuuust weatherbeaten enough that you won't lose sleep over paint chips or shopping cart dings. I'd love to see this thing driving around again! Speaking of driving around...my 71 C10 is insured and it took me to work, then from work to the RC flying field, then from there back home again without flaw. Ran like a sewing machine! I dare say I have the engine reliable now. Just need to change the clutch and I can start dailying it. As it is, I'll be taking it to work once a week...it's at that stage of putting one back on the road where it just plain and simple needs miles put on it.

[@waynelutwiniak797]

Love the Kaiser, can't wait to hear it running. Stay dirty 👍

[@MaxAC]

So happy to see the Ol Kaiser out in the sun, and Hunny Bunny is a cutie.. congrats buddy. Cheers!

[@maxplanck1423]

Nothing like having a pack of willing collaborators to make the challenging extraction of a 73-year old relic from its its decades long Rip Van Winkle resting place look like fun. Well done, blokes and of course, CWM’s esteemed ‘Honey Bunny’ who keeps it from falling off track just like Frankers and Tom do. Can’t wait for Saturday’s adventures!

[@allencrider]

My mom drove a brown Kaiser. It had a padded dash and I remember hitting that padded dash with my head a couple of times when she slammed on the brakes

[@wilco3588]

They did make a supercharged version with a McCullough supercharger in 54- 55 I think found one in a junkyard missing the supercharger of course!

[@robertlee9395]

Nice to see this Kaiser move again. Good thing Tom is there to supervise, with Franker's. Thanks again for the entertainment. See you Saturday.

[@DontCryAboutIt]

Tom's getting up there in years but IIRC before Scott had a tractor, forklift etc.. He used to come over and pull his s*** around with his lawn yard tractor or whatever it was and plow snow. He also helps Scott with color because Scott's color blind. Tom knows his s*** with old school auto body.

[@rickrice3221]

“I’m glad you said that..”. No swearing! Git’er goin!

[@bn.870]

It would be nice to hear it run and maybe drive around your place

Nice old ride! Cheers Scott! Lookin forward to the t shirts. My father in law got one of your calendars for Christmas and fell in love with the 37. I bought him and myself shirts of it!

"In-house collision" haha, thanks for the thursday videos always lets me know how close we are to saturday!

[@barrykochverts4149]

Get'er runnin', guys! The Cold War was young when this beauty was made, so what better channel to put the wheels rolling, eh? I didn't know the chrome band above the rocker panels on fancier models covered a stamped character line designed into the bodywork... that's super cool! This car needs to run. I know you like stock, Scott, but for somebody with hobby time available, it would be cool if a Slant Six would fit. Nice to see Hunny Bunny out in front of the camera, too! A gal who supports the hobby is a rare gem!

[@Gerk8]

I enjoy all the CWM musical interludes but “Music To Clean The Kaiser By” may be my favorite one so far. Cool. 😎

[@dalewyatt1321]

Interesting lines on that car, front and rear windscreens and the rear door shape in particular. Never got them in AU so it will be interesting to see the work done on it.

[@richmelillo9637]

[@tr_rodder932]

Definitely yes on the Tractor Gnome T-Shirts, or Foreman's Here T-Shirts!!!

You can get that Kaiser running in no time flat. I love the styling. I would love to have a 51 Dragon, but I would daily drive that poverty spec Special happily. It suits my pay grade better anyway. Cheers, see you Saturday.

[@troyandog8749]

It'd be hard to believe that you can't get that Continental 226 to run, especially seeing the previous success with the Frazer. The styling is so cool. Like Kaiser said, "slap a Buick nameplate on it, and It'd sell like hotcakes!"

[@gregjohnson8188]

if thats a "Continental 6" they were in a lot of vehicles including Willys Jeeps

[@richardlincoln8438]

Getting the Kaiser under it's own power would be very helpful but the projects are starting to multiply.... again. Thank You for the mid week show Scott. Tom had good advice, it's 420 somewhere. Best Wishes to everyone at Cold War Motors, their Families and Friends.

Oh yeah!! I'm loving that you're messing with this car.. ❤

[@mynameis9057]

You must be so loving the new hoist! Now next thing is a building with heat surrounding it😊 What's also great is using it as an engine puller too! Either attach a chain ,chain fall with block and tackle and just pull the car under one of the lift arms and up or down she goes. Just need an engine stand, pallet, donor car or pick up truck etc for the engine and you're golden! Yeah buddy!

[@markbehr88]

Very cool Kaiser. I love the last model year one especially but this one is very cool and worthy of fixing it up beyond a light dusting. 👍

Definitely get the Old Kaiser off and running 👍 I'm down with that.

[@VincentBasso-ix1zv]

You have to get the Kaiser running and driving. In my 40 years of going to cars shows, I've seen a Henry J. I was taken back by its beauty. I've seen a Kaiser parked on the street. A two-toned coral pink over black, again a real beauty ! I can remember seeing a Frazer. To have both a Frazer and Kaiser plated and driving would be amazing !!!
