Additional Notes

  • All four trim configurations of the Kaiser-Frazer K 52 — the Manhattan K 522, Virginian DeLuxe Dragon K 522, Virginian DeLuxe K 522, and Virginian Special K 521 — share an identical cooling system capacity of 12.83 liters across the 1951-1952 model years.
  • A cooling system capacity of 12.83 liters is a moderately large figure for a passenger car of the early 1950s, consistent with the inline six-cylinder engines typical of Kaiser-Frazer vehicles from that era.
  • The 12.83-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume of coolant required to fill the system during a standard drain and refill, rather than a total system volume measured under laboratory conditions.
  • The capacity value is identical across both the K 521 and K 522 engine codes, indicating no difference in cooling system volume between the Virginian Special and the higher trim K 522 variants for 1951-1952.
  • All four rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the 12.83-liter capacity specification applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or extreme-temperature service scenarios.
