Wow, $12,000?  Unlikely it's a true 1955 but the color is excellent and if it stands up to a personal inspection, this would be one to add to a collection.

I meant it seems like a NICE car for $12,000 not over priced.   IF it is a true 1955 Kaiser.  I am a big fan of "last of" cars, such as 1956 Packard and 1955 Kaisers.  They are historically collectible and interesting, as are "1st of" cars, such as early GP Frazers. 

I just can't confirm if this is a true 1955 Kaiser because many 1955 Kaisers have been found to be 1954 cars over the years.

Mr. Manhattan

As we have noted before, that usually means something is not right, such as it has a fair amount of hidden issues an/or is not really a 1955 car.  Has the price gone down in 2 years or stayed at $12,000?

A nice looking car but that 8 volt battery means that there is trouble in starting this car.
