Thanks for posting.  I would not mind having a 52 Manhattan but transport from Southern California to Iowa is $1500 at least.  This sounds like a regional sale opportunity.

I will look into posting photos of the 1952 Kaiser Manhattan.  For the man who wanted to bring the vehicle to Iowa, is it for restoration purposes?

Hi spaceboy:
I have no idea what your cars condition is, but I am casually looking for a 52 Manhattan to own, drive, restore, all of the above.  For those in the know, 52 Manhattans were in a mid year addition to the line up, and I like the "hybrid" status between the 51's and 53's.  I think the 51's are a bit understated. 

A lot would depend on color and such, but the bottom line is $1500 spent on transport is too much.  I only look for KF's in the Midwest. 
I have a friend in the KF business that "had" a rare 1948 Frazer with leather interior that I would love to own but he lives northeast of San Diego and transport would add $2000 to the reasonable cost he was asking for the car.  I am sure that car is crushed now.

Check with Rudy as it may still be available.  I saw the car and it is black with leather interior and seemed to be California rust free.  I could bring it to Iowa for $1500 if you really want it or maybe Rudy would deliver. I am also close to the '52 Kaiser Manhattan and could deliver it if needed.

spaceboy:
Any photos yet?  Adding and reducing pixel size should work for this forum. 
What the colors on the 1952?
What is the original mileage?
What needs done - meachanically?
How long have you owned and how did you come into the cars? 
Thanks

Here are some photos of the 1952 Kaiser Manhattan.  Remember to email me at physics50@hotmail.com for more information.  I want to find a good home for the 1952.  There is a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan also, but it was severely damaged in an accident and is best viewed as a "parts" car.  I'll throw in the 1953 car for free to the buyer of the 1952!!

I'm told that the ugliest girl in the class  looks pretty after a few drinks.  (I don't drink, so am depending on what others are saying.)
