Title: 1948 Frazer on ebay
Post by: JFerriss on November 06, 2018, 10:33:57 PM
Just saw this Frazer Manhattan on ebay and in looking at the pictures I see that the front floor has rubber mats. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that by 1948 all Manhattans had carpet on the front floor?

tag says model 485, so not a manhattan (which would be a 486). steering wheel is also a giveaway - manhattan had a fancier, larger center. Definitely in better shape than mine!

Yes, this one's been for sale before.  The thin rocker trim, small steering wheel, open steering column and of course F485 model designation indicate it is standard dressed up with Manhattan trim (added by a previous owner/restorer.) It's a pretty blue car just the same.

Frazer experts, please help me with the interior colors. According to the data plate, the car was originally "Onyx" [101] with a "Green Broadcloth" interior? What an assortment of interior colors now! It appears there is brown, turquoise, blue, and ivory in one interior!

The door panels look like they could be original but the seats look to have been redone.  If it shows on the tag that it was originally green than everything has been redone.
