Any idea on how much work it would be to flip it back over right side up?  Just kidding of course! sometimes the photo attach feature on here does that - flips pictures around. Don't know why.  Anyway, I downloaded the pic and flipped it over and it looks like a nice car. For me the later specials with the thin chrome strip are always a treat to see. I hope you can find a good home for it.

Ha! I think its the first time its been rolled! I tried everything to post the photo right side up, but couldn't figure it out. Oh well, its a really nice car when presented properly.
I have lots of photos I can send via text or email if you're interested, right side up.

Great looking car! I haven’t seen to many in that color, and only one tone. Looks like a great car to take around to various shows and such. Best of luck selling it!

According to the various Confidential Bulletins that advised dealers & distributors as to available exterior colors and interior trim, the only factory produced 1951 Kaiser two-tone paint combinations were coupled with the interior trim package identified on the Body Information Tag (the larger rectangular factory tag on the firewall) as 9 in the AG group.    1952 Kaiser Virginians were also done in two-tone.  Email me your PAINT color number off the BIT and I will tell you what color your 1951 Kaiser was originally.  The only cars that got AG 9 were deluxe models; 2-tone on a 1951 Kaiser Special was a definite no-no except by special order.  Special order Kaisers--any year--have a K- prefixed number (example K-1234) at the SPEC-FO header.

Paint color is always a matter of owner preference and it is known that past owkers of any make old car, had their vehicle repainted to suit their liking.

It looks like a nice car and sure looks like Kaiser Mariner Grey in the paint chips but the blue wheels are definitely someones afterthought.
