An interesting car. The continental kit isn't factory but whoever made it - probably aftermarket - did a very good job. It looks like the car also has an exterior visor.

Jake, your photo is from a 51 Continental kit. The 52 has a completely different rear bumper and tail light set-up. Don't want to mislead anyone.

52 Virginians were actually left over 51s that were retitled as 52s.

Yes, a '52 Virginian, like a '52 Henry J Vagabond is just a left over '51 that was retagged as a '52. But the car in the ad is a '52 Manhattan which is different. I don't recall if there was a factory kit for the '52 Manhattan.
