You could try an online calculator like NADA Classic Car Values or Manheim Gold Book. The values don't always match up, but it's a start until someone chimes in with a better idea. What city are you located nearest? Maybe one of us can suggest someone they trust locally.

1954 Kaiser Manhattan - FOR SALE
« Reply #2 on: October 30, 2008, 01:08:43 PM »
A great KFC member helped me check out my 1954 Kaiser Manhattan.  Thank you Randy!!!  So, I have more information.  It is now registered with the national registry - thanks for Harold!.

-Production for this 4dr Manhattan was 4,107 in 1954.   
-The original color is Signal Green Metallic inside and out, except the black colored roof (not original).   
-The brakes and tires need to be replaced, but that is not a big deal to a restorer - fuel, spark plug replacement etc. needs to be done to start it of course . 
-Supercharger is in tact.
-The front seat material was partially replaced many years ago and shows some wear.   
-It has 97,501 miles

Not original are:  hub caps are for 1951 not 1954, radio is not from 1954 (most likely from earlier model, 1954's have black knobs instead)

Does not currently run.  Last time ran was May 25, 1997.  I have pictures I can email if you are interested.  It really needs a happy home.
