The 49K Traveler...assuming it is the Special and not the Vagabond, listed for $2088, at least that was the advertised MSRP in the advertising I have from early 1949. A heater would have added something like $50 to that price, plus taxes and delivery/prep.

Check the information in KFOCI HANDBOOK VERSION 4.0 for the various automobiles you mention.  There is MSRP for the vehicles and factory-installed accessories in the various sections; heaters (if not something in the dealer order guide) and other options are found in the Accessories item for the variious cars.  The first update to the handbook will include factory established labor time (number of hours to do work) for option installs so you can take pricing down to that level (you get to pick labor rate; for cars that were delivered retail at the factory, K-F charged $2.00/hour for installation labor).

I made sure people got as much information as possible when the Handbook was put together.
