Title: Early '51 Special on ebay
Post by: Fid on November 12, 2017, 08:20:51 PM
Looks a lot like mine

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1951-Kaiser/122805454475?hash=item1c97c6868b:g:FU8AAOSwgKNaBOCr&vxp=mtr

No horn ring, no stainless molding etc. 
I always have a soft spot for the "cheap" ones.
What's interesting about mine is mine has overdrive and a radio, both listed on the original bill of sale dated Aug 1950 so it shipped that way.

This one does not have a radio and I don't see an overdrive  control cable or relay and there's only one set of wires on the coil so I'd say it doesn't have OD.
It looks pretty straight.

It will interesting to see if it sells.

Fid:
I checked it out (the ebay auction) and it does not provide enough information for potential buyers. He never states it runs.  So, $4000 is too much for a non running "project" car. 

Also, how is it a "Deluxe" ? If it's a base model? 

I don't think it sells, it then goes back to CL for a couple of years.

Despite the description, it's not a deluxe, it's a special.
For some reason ebay sellers just assume all cars are "deluxe" models the same way they assume all Frazers are "Manhattan" or more often "Manhatten" models.
