Weight of a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan-anyone know?
« on: April 17, 2008, 06:56:46 PM »
Does anyone know how much these cars weigh?  I need to put it on a platform for display and I need to know the weight so the structural engineer can do his thing.

Confidential bulletin #89 of 10/17/52 lists the weight of a Deluxe at 3210 pounds and a Manhattan at 3275 pounds.  Accessories like automatic transmission or overdrive would add a few hundred pounds.
