In 1945, the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation signed a five-year lease with Henry Ford for the use of the Ford, Willow Run, B-24 Liberator Bomber Plant. They began manufacturing the first new cars after the war in the fall of 1946. They were the "newest kids on block" and the largest independent producer of automobiles with 250,000 Kaiser-Frazer's rolling off the conveyor belt during 1947-48.
