Automobiles will soon roll off lines where once bombers were built, at the huge Willow Run plant, shown above in a recent air view. Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, new auto making concern headed by Henry J. Kaiser, Pacific Coast shipbuilder and Joseph W. Frazer, President and Chairman of Graham Paige Motors, has just leased the big plant to manufacture motor cars. Willow Run’s airport and hangar buildings will be retained by the government.
