The 1951 Frazer Standard was the base series in Frazer's last model year, with the same styling as the '51 Manhattan.

The series includes the intriguing Vagabond utility sedan, a carryover of the 1949-50 Kaiser model featuring a double rear hatch and fold-down rear seatback that opened up an enormous load bed. The Vagabond was K-F's halfway solution to the problem of how to offer wagon-like cargo carrying capacity and versatility without the tooling expense for a separate wagon body.

The regular sedan was more luxurious than previous base Frazers, being trimmed to 1949-50 Manhattan levels.

• Vagabond's versatility, unusual design

• Debatable styling
