51 Frazer convertible on Ebay rough for sure, but...
« on: July 27, 2010, 04:36:36 PM »
...largely complete. At least the rare trim bits, power window mechanisms, top hardware and engine and transmission are there, and there is enough interior to use as patterns. Labour of love for someone. Wonder what number it is?

He also has a Studebaker Champion convertible. They would make a nice pair all fixed up. Got an extra $100K lying around not doing much?

Every car getas a second chance but the price is beyond any seconds for me.  I can envision its potential, I hope someone could make an offer that is realistic and save it.

I hope I am wrong, but the problem will be that because, 1)Kaiser-Frazer products are rare, 2)it's a convertible and 3)some auction had a condition 1 car sold for gobs of money, the owner will feel if anything, he or she is giving it away at the asking price.
