Best Known 1947 Kaiser in Existence

[Jerry Wilbeck]

Hello Again,
Does anyone out there have a lead on the absolute best 1947 Kaiser in existence, regardless of mileage, location, or Cost?
If so, I'd be interested in comparing cars!

Probably the most famous '47 Kaiser is the two door Pinconning Special in Harrah's collection but there are many nice 47-8's that come to our National meets.

Unfortunately, the earliest one known was destroyed in a fire a few years ago. The earliest one known today is owned by Rollie Potts of Wisconsin. I don't remember which city and I'm not home where I can get at my roster.  If you have a roster, look him up.

Actually, I think Mike McManama owns the oldest 1947 Kaiser. It's an early Special, just like the one lost in the fire (Jerry Laurin's), with the "Special" script on the trunk, the hood struts and the three piece grille. It was a beater owned by John Parker and Mike ended up with it and modified it to make it a driver. I think it's been to several of the most recent Nationals.
