That list is very old and many of those owners and cars are no longer with us.  Check your KFOCI roster and see if any of those names are still in the roster.  Also for small towns look in the phone book for the town and some of the names could turn out to be a relative who would remember K-F cars in the family.  Our list was started over 40 years ago and as you will notice many of the listings were old sightings and some of the cars were in junk yards.

I do not know how to read the roster.  Names are not there...only email addresses.  Where is there a current list of present owners of 54-55 Kaiser Manhattans?

From the new letter :
2 strong running KAISER
engines, with good oil pressure: a '51
and  a  '52.  Both  for  standard  transmissions.  Can  hear  them run!  $300  each  or  both  for  $500.  Located  in  western
 MA. Tom   #1277,

(Jake) Why do you need to know the names of the owners of 54 or 55 Kaisers..

Any  long time club member could tell you who has one..

Not certain why you are concerned about my seeking, and offering NO helpful information.

You are a long time member.  Would you care to tell me who has a 54 or 55?...BY NAME?

I think you have confused the "registry" (list of cars) with the "roster" (list of members). The most recent roster was printed in 2016 & mailed to current members. If you do not have a roster but are a current member, you can get a listing of members in your area online at the club website. Sign in to the "Members Only" section, click on the Directory tab and enter your search criteria.

Edited to correct: you do not need to sign in to the "Members Only Content" section to access the Directory, it is available once you have signed in as a member.

I am a former member but am not presently.

Carpenter, do you own a Kaiser Frazer, looking to buy, or what is your current interest?   

[Carpenter]

I am the proud owner of a 1954 4 door Kaiser Manhattan which I purchased from an individual who had bought it from the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.  It 99%+ rustless.  It is supposed to be light green with a dark green top, but the museum had it painted bright red with a bright white top.  It attracts a lot of attention being those colors.

I am trying to find and keep up with all 54-55s that are in my part of the country.  Had no idea it was going to be such a major task.

If I had the money new 54-55s would be rolling off the assembly line on a regular basis.  The styling of no other auto matches them.

Why not re-join the club? The info you want is available to members, plus you get club news in the Bulletin, the Quarterly magazine, the annual Calendar and the latest Handbook on CD (a collection of factory documents and information on KF and it's products).

[Carpenter]

Jake, the first one is no longer available.  Where is the red one located?

[Carpenter]

So how do we find out where?

[Bulletin Editor]

I am a former member but am not presently.

Why not re-join? If you were a current member you'd find 2 1954 Late Special Kaisers for sale in the November Bulletin.

I don't understand this thread. Carpenter has a 54 Kaiser and wants to know if any other 54 owners are in his area . He is instead being offered cars etc for sale.

this is all too common and very annoying

certain users of this forum are notorious for this misusage
