Kaisers (Wikipedia entry
here) were redesigned only once, for the 1951 model year. I wrote about the 1951 Kaiser redesign
here.
Previous Kaisers were all 4-door models. But the redesign included 2-door models, a sedan and two coupes. These accounted for about 17 percent of 1951 standard-size Kaiser sales and around 10 percent of 1952 Kaiser sales. So they are pretty rare cars.

Kaiser's 1952 facelift included an improved grille design and larger taillight assemblies.
The passenger compartment greenhouse is shorter that that for 4-door sedans.
Four-door sedan greenhouses extended to the trunk hinges.
A fine early 1950s design. Feminine.
Greenhouses were proportionately tall for that era.
