Always nice to see the '54; the side view is awesome.

The styling transition from the 51 Kaiser to the 54 Kaiser was a tremendous work of ingenuity.

Compare the styling of a 54 Manhattan to anything offered by the big three that year and the Kaiser is the clear winner. Need I say more?!

The 51 Kaiser styling that went through 54 had all competition beat by a mile.

The car was originally all black (#239 Raven Black)
When I purchased it in Modesto California in late 2012 it had a white top.
I didn't research the factory colors, my body shop man suggested the silver (gray) top.
I like how it turned out. It took over 2 years to find a willing shop to take it on as it had some rust issues above the rear window and windshield which required the removal f the glass.... Something most were not willing to undertake.
