NEW '52 KAISER BRINGS YOU THE WORLD'S SAFEST FRONT SEAT

Is one car safer than another? Kaiser-Frazer says YES . . . and for 1952 brings you the first truly safety-engineered automobile--the Kaiser MANHATTAN--with the World's Safest Front Seat. Kaiser Anatomic Engineering has combined this new 7-point front seat protection, with the lowest center of gravity, more effective brakes and Curve-Master Control Steering to make the most beautiful car in America the World's safest car, as well!

SEVEN-POINT PROTECTION!

1. Narrowest corner posts in any car eliminate "blind spots."

2. Exclusive Safety-Mounted One- Piece Windshield is designed to push outward in case of severe impact, and only in case of impact.

3. World's safest full-length Safety- Cushion Padded Instrument Panel protects against sudden stops.

4. Emergency brake on the right hand side for more natural operation and greater safety.

5. All recessed instruments--fewer protrusions in the interior for added protection in case of accident.

6. Extra leg room allows more relaxed driving and helps keep the driver more refreshed and alert.

7. Safety-Posture front seat braces and cradles your weight low . . . where it's safer.

Bentley announced the end of an era: The iconic 6.0-liter W12 is no longer. The brand ceased production of the powerful and compact 12-cylinder just last month, in April 2024.

We were drawn to a pair of Bright White first-generation, rear-wheel-drive Dakota pickups, offered by different sellers, that represented the sportiest and most collectible variants Dodge sold in that mid-size truck's 1987-1996 model years.
