He is difficult to get ahold of. And his ad gives him all the control meaning there is no phone number. I have his phone number and tried for months to buy one of the 49 Virginians. He has never called back. I would even send him a snail mail letter expressing interest if I had his address.
If he is a KFOCI member I would even join to get this contact information!
As for this car, I am not a fan of the 51 Frazer restyle. I know some like it. The “beak” of a grille and concave area underneath are odd. Some symmetry lost in the side work. I don’t care if it is 1 of 1 I just would not own it or a convertible.
I suspect Duane could offer these cars for free and they would not find new homes. $800 is pretty much free. There is a 1949 Cadillac Coupe deVille hardtop project on my local Craig’s list in worse condition than this car for $3100. He has incrementally lowered the asking price and there are no takers.
These 2 cars are essentially contemporaries in that they are 1st year hardtops. Used to be a 49 GM hardtop project would get $5000 to $10k. Now nobody wants them.
Hey Chris tell Duane I’ll buy his most complete Virginian project. He can reach me at 515-201-8490 or email me at
