I see it but I won't give it away. Funny, I thought that's what it might be before I even looked at that ad!

Is the drivers side rear door supposed to open? My limited K-F knowledge seems to tell me that that door was bolted (sealed?) shut because the spare tire sat just inside.

On another note......that '53 in Cleveland seems like a lot of car for the money, but I'd want better pictures before laying down the bucks.  :)

Congrats, you passed! Looking at the picture, it appears the door has had a latch fitted - when we cut open a 49 years ago there was no latch, just a hole where it should have been.

My guess is that someone cut the welds and then added the necessary hardware.

We gutted a non-restorable '51 Frazer Vagabond many years ago. The driver's side rear door had four large welds holding it in place.  Not gonna be opening that one!
