The convertible is one of two known.  The other was owned for years by Ed Haugsen who passed away recently.

It is a vagabond..??

It appears to be a '49/'50 Traveler with a '48 front end on it.

The convertible was a sedan that was cut down to resemble a convertible. It isn't one of the two Detrich produced for KF.

Thanks for the clarification. I had not heard about this one.

Auction live today. Glad Jim is there to enjoy.   I think that Dragon looks pretty nice in the photos and may yield really good money for a project Dragon.  $4000?  Fun to guess. 
No old cars owned.
