The description has so many errors in it, the thing doesn't seem worth posting.  Without an actual picture of the vehicle, it's impossible to know what the seller is offering.  No such car as described was ever built by K-F and I would have expected Jake to know this.

He does. And he lives in Lincoln or close by and so he can check it out. 
No old cars owned.

Unless it is known for a fact that the cars are one in the same, it is my opinion that the color photo does just as much as a dis-service than the photo from the magazine article.  For all anyone knows at this point (since Jake acknowledges he is assuming) the car actually being offered is a rusted out shell because nobody knows for certain.

1992 Lincoln Ne  Kaiser meet..

That looks like Edgett, what's his first name, Elwood? Everett? looking at the first pic with his back to us.

I found one more from a 1992 meet in Des Moines Iowa. The top is a different color..

That's Larry Smith's car.

The car, a 1949 Kaiser Manhattan as stated in the ad cannot exist.  If the seller doesn't know what he or she has, and doesn't bother to find out what he or she has before selling it, how can anyone trust or believe in the seller's various claims?  Would you?

I wonder what ever became of that car?  How did he steer it?

It's a Photoshop creation.

Did you tell him to do his homework so he could better present it and be more likely to make a sale?
