Seems to be in good shape altough not much info given... seller needs to be contacted.

Great color on it. Looks like a modern stereo / sound system so likely converted to 12 volts which may or may not be a good thing depending on what you're looking for. More info would help. Looks like a very nice steering wheel in it and we know how tough those are to find.

I noticed the dash padding in grey, is that an original color ?

I see most of them in butterscotch color and so is mine....

I've never seen grey dash padding either and this car apparently has carpeting in the front where the original was a rubber mat color keyed to the interior color.

For a 1951 Kaiser, there is only 1dash pad material, pleated brown vinyl.  Check the KFOCI HANDBOOK item on the 1951 Kaiser Deluxe 4-door sedan.

I wonder if the differences are export changes, as the HJ's did when being sold in Canada?

Anything is possible as there is no definitive information on Export version colors & trims.  However, for the record, we don't know if this is a "2" under the DR heading built at Willow Run (export car), has the tag from the Leaside Ontario plant for the serial number on the door post like stateside cars do, or is a Willow Run built car with a "1" under the DR heading which would identify the car as American made and sold originally in the 48 United States of the day.
