Interesting!
Postwar:
The [Graham-Paige] company resumed automobile production in 1946 producing a modern-looking new car, the 1947 Frazer, named for new Graham-Paige President Joseph Frazer, in partnership with Henry J. Kaiser. It also began production of farm equipment under the Rototiller name.[1] In August 1945, Graham-Paige announced plans to resume production under the Graham name, but the plan never materialized. On February 5, 1947, Graham-Paige stockholders approved the transfer of all their automotive assets to Kaiser-Frazer, an automobile company formed by Frazer and Kaiser, in return for 750,000 shares of Kaiser-Frazer stock and other considerations. . .
So the 1947 Kaiser sedan (the Frazer was a fancier version of the same car) my father bought (in 1947) was really a Graham! The car had a 6-cylinder Continental engine, and lots of room for our parents and us three boys to travel to Florida (from Maryland) in 1948.

It was a very modern-looking car for the post-war era. My only regret (much, much later) was that my father sold our 1937 (?) four-door (!) Ford convertible. It looked like this, only grey:
