Title: Info on car wanted
Post by: j762538 on March 24, 2024, 10:53:20 AM
I see a 2 door Kaiser Manhattan sold on Hemmings. https://www.hemmings.com/listing/1954-kaiser-manhattan-607974/sold K542 1 is the body number that indicates it is 4 door. Its not in the registry. Restored by Harvey Hedg******. Anyone know more about it?

Yes, It should be put on the List that Still exists. But better if they Join the Club & Register

The car was custom built by a KF club member to resemble a club coupe. If you look closely, you'll see that the space between the trunk lid and rear glass is wider than the two door sedan and that there is no vent window in the rear side glass like that in a two door sedan. Both are hallmarks of the club coupe. The serial number falls into the four door sedan range but without a picture of the trim tag, it's just a guess. Nicely done build, and strong money at the sale, but the old timers in the club will dismiss it as "another one chopped up".

That was Late Harvey Hedge******s car in the Socal Region.
