1955 Kaiser Manhattan
« on: February 05, 2019, 02:58:53 PM »
I was wondering what a 55 Manhattan 4dr that has had a full restoration would be worth.  If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it very much.  member #2016   rrplante@me.com

It is basically worth whatever a serious buyer is willing to pay.

Price Guild above Shown is a Good Average Price. Then Condition looks Good on Outside. Inside & everything Works & Looks Good. More for Everything Original.

It’s like any Vehicle, If looks Mint inside & Out Your doing Good.

Looks like a nicely done car. Was the steering wheel originally green? While a Signal Green wheel was available as an accessory, I've never seen one and I'll bet most folks in the club have never as well.

I found out it was an option, so I had it painted.   Never liked the black wheel, felt it didn't look right.

Ever since my wife pasted I have lost interest in the 55, so yes I'm thinking of selling it.

Well, if appropriate, gives us a price. It will be out of my league, mainly because of the magnificent and highly detailed job you have done!

So Sad for Your loss. When losing a Family Member I always say take a Pause. When You Sell, it’s hard to Go Back.

Looks like You’re Vehicle is Number One. So Price Guild is a Average. If Someone  is Looking for This Color Combination & Original Restoration You could get More.
