The 1953 dragon (stardust ivory with black vinyl top) at Barrett Jackson in AZ sold for under $26,000 plus buyer premium. Lately, when a 1953 Dragon in the condition of the auction car crosses the block as sold, the car fetches between $35-42K. This and the 1949 Kaiser Vagabond at another auction recently tends to suggest really decent K-F cars are one of the best buys in the marketplace.
