Yet another "parts" car. Some body should start buying them up ..because some day they will all be gone (

That's a $500 car, but interesting.  When a seller puts a $4800 price on it, it scares away 102% of the possible buyers.   Sure it seems original and intact but we all know it's going to cost $40,000 to restore that car. 

KF's sure do stick around.  And how many Green and White or White and Green 1953 cars did KF make?!  Very common to see.

The surviving records of producton and details of producton are far from complete.  At present there is no known way of telling how many of what color (or color combination) were produced each model year let alone when the bodies were painted.  It is known that they were painted in batches rather than individual swaps; that would take too much time to clean the tanks and the sprayer system.  It is also known  that some colors or color combinations may have sat finished in the body bank for weeks and in some cases months by comparing SCHED numbers with door post serial numbers.
