It looks like it has a very nice Manhattan interior but it looks odd to have the 1949 tail lights. A good buy for someone!

Ad says transmission is automatic........but it has what looks like a clutch pedal, and what looks like an overdrive relay on the firewall. Wasn't 1951 the first year for a K-F automatic transmission?

1951 was 1st year.  Sellers make a lot of listing errors on Craigs List, that's all that is, a listing error.

The car looks nice, but is by no means original interior, paint, etc.  For the asking price however, if it is good mechanically and has a solid body, it is not a bad deal.  Being in Shoreline, it might have been originally sold by K-F dealer Long Motors.  The son of the dealer is a recently deceased club member.  I also have his original dealer franchise agreements from 1946 (they were on eBay for sale some months ago).
