Jim Kellison created Kellison Engineering & Manufacturing Company in 1954. The operation was based in California and specialized in kit car creation. Kellison served as a fighter pilot during World War II and his closeness to aerodynamic designs undoubtedly influenced his streamlined and attractive race car bodies. The company sold their product in a variety of guise and completion. The first of these products was dubbed the J-2 Roadster. The open roadster body had a 102-inch wheelbase and measured 169 inches in length.
The J3 had similar dimensions, being 169-inch length and 98-inch wheelbase. Prices ranged from around $380 to over $500 for a complete unit.
The K2 rested on a 154-inch length and an 86-inch wheelbase.
The J4 Grande Turismo Coupe was Kellison's first closed-cockpit car; it was designed to accept V8 engine mounted in the front of the vehicle.
Kellison used fiberglass bodies to clothes his molds. The elegant bodies rested on tube frames.
During the mid-1960s, Kellison created a new division in his company, named Grand Prix Sports and Racing, for the development of racers for Formula A, B, and Vee.
