Again with the velour interior.  That's not original or even close, right?   Perhaps people put the money into the body and chrome on "restored" cars and then run out of money and attention to detail and rather than wait on SMS they just tell the upholsterer to make it "decent".  But, for the purchaser, you get a nice car that would not win any award that was legit ( KFOCI / AACA ) BUT, you continue to enjoy it and after awhile it becomes a non issue.

This car has been for sale before. There were no '51 Kaiser Manhattans and I too take issue with the statement "completely restored to factory" as we know the upholstery is not.   It could be a nice car. I don't care for that upholstery myself but each to their own.

Kaiser never had red paint until 1954 and front floor mats were rubber on all '51 Kaisers and there are other things not original on this car but it is certainly a pretty one and not really too high a price for a rare club coupe ready to drive and enjoy.

Yes too bad about the interior. That's one of the challenges with KF cars because of their unique interiors. It's not too hard to have a generic useful interior, but to match factory original takes a sizeable financial commitment. Back nearly 20 years ago when I had my 1953 Manhattan I enjoyed the mostly original interior but the seat fabric inserts were the previous restorers only choice as SMS was not yet making authentic 1953 fabric, hence unavailable. But the overall look was still in keeping with original design intent.
