1947 Frazer (pics added)

The original early 47 hood and trunk would have manual supports. Are they still there or is the hood and trunk held up by springs? Is there a rear sway bar under the axle? Can you post some pictures? Easy to tell GP from later K-F built car by what parts are on it.

That early number is in the registry but I do not believe it exists any more.  Communication to the owner was not returned many years ago.  Probably Bob Antram has the lowest number known and that is car number 1278 making it the 278th car made.  It has all of the early features and is very interesting.  No Frazer's were made with painted grille's except the early prototypes but the early magazine ads would convince you that they did.  They also showed Frazer bumpers on the early Kaisers too.  K-F magazine ads can really be confusing because they were mostly an artists conception but they were beautiful advertising.

I tried to attach a rubbing of the ID plate but could not figure it out.  Here are the numbers:

Model-47, Body-5, Paint-357, Trim-105, Body Number 10338

Those numbers should put production of this Frazer at almost a third of the way thru and it should have most of the late features.  I did have an early Manhattan that still had the props for the hood and the wide radiator.
