[quote LO59XAA391YD1CK0]The four door sedans were not very attractive, which is another reason they failed. They AI coupe looks ok.[/quote] It's only my opinion, but I think of all the early '50s US 4-door sedans, the Kaiser was way in front in looks. Like BentleyT, I reckon the early '54 was the best of them, before they widened the back window. For a car that only had a flat-head six, it was priced way too high as this graph of 1953-54 prices show. Also compared with most of the '54 GM, Ford and Chrysler's middle priced offerings go, to my mind, the lumpy GM and Chryslers were simply unattractive. The Mercury and Lincoln were really neat, particularly their taillight treatment. As DrJohn says, the Kaiser was really quite elegant, with that '53 4 door sedan being another one of Kaiser's best.
