Shouldn't this be in CARS FOR SALE?  There is only one vehicle shown & no pictures of the rest of the facility?

I saw that car at French Lake Auto Parts in 2008.  It looked much the same.
1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe
Edgar Kaiser's custom 1951 Henry J
1951 Kaiser Special
1952 Allstate Deluxe

Jake: I was in that junk yard in the early 60's and found a Club Coupe that they had removed the front seat and filled the trunk
and interior with axles from other cars. The grease from the axles had protected the floors from rusting out, but the weight had
caused the car to sink in the ground. I was driving a '53 2 door Carolina at the time and did not know how rare the Club Coupe
was and so I passed it buy. They used to have lots of KF products and a person could strip trim pieces for very little money.

Send An E-Mail to get some info. This is the reply .



Hi Fred,

I just got this kaiser in a couple weeks ago.
I am located in central minnesota - Sauk Rapids.
It is cold here so I didnt try to hard to get it actually running.
 The engine turns over and fired a few times, which was enough for me.
There was a supercharger in the trunk (it is stuck) as well as
the carb box, belt tensioner and brackets. (I am not sure if these
parts came off this car or not)
No title, but this car was never on the road past the 60s, so it was never
on the books in minnesota. It is not too hard to get a title here, but it all
depends on the state that you are in.
I havent put it up for sale yet.  I was planning to put some tires on it and get
some new pictures of it - then it will go on ebay.
If you are nearby, you are welcome to come see it and make an offer.
Thanks
Greg

PS - I am planning to get the blower freed up and sell those parts separately.
