Nice looking 51 Frazer Vagabond on Ebay

I smile at the little point that 'everything works, except (the A/C) clock ,radio, dome light, and fuel gauge'....and that 'the ignition key is missing'

Still, I'd love to have *THIS PARTICULAR* car--a burgundy 51 Frazer Vagabond with Fulton & fogs (especially one with the factory dealer installed air conditioning--now what on earth does that mean??) and a 54 Manhattan would make my Kaiser life complete. Too bad I'm too broke at the moment to consider it.

The 51 Vagabond & 54 Manhattan duo from the museum--is there anything that wrong with them, other than just a touch on the rich side in the current economy?

It is a very nice looking car.  The a/c is from Montgomery Wards, and has a York compressor.  I have the exact same thing installed in my 70 Ford F100 in 1973.

I sent an email to the seller about the A/C on this car.  He considereed my "opinion" worthless and stands behind this being factory air.
