Nice looking car. For you 54 fans. 1 of about 1200 made, seems like most made it!

The number produced was actually about four times the seller’s claim.

Looks like the one that I owned for 2 years...bought from a former Kaiser dealer in Harrisburg, who was living in Tampa, Florida when I bought it.  I was the last one of 13 which he had at the closing of his dealership.  Maybe some of you will remember his name.

I thought so but could not remember. It is a nice looking car, is a Manhattan, and has the supercharger.   I mean no disrespect to Kaiser owners, but I doubt a Cadillac or Buick 4 door model from 1954 would yield $16,500.  You can get a decent 2 door hardtop for that money.  Overpricing simply means the cars don't sell or move to someone who may join as a new KFOCI member.

Several years ago a write up about the 54 Kaisers appeared in a magazine and the author noted the  car’s unique styling. He also stated that years later, the Kaisers would be remembered for their styling and that no one would particularly want a 54 Pontiac or Cadillac thanks to their comparatively conservative looks. I believe that to be true.
