Title: 1949 Kaiser Virginian
Post by: william shippy on March 27, 2019, 04:27:20 PM: I found this ad for a 1949 Kaiser Virginian that's close by me. I tried calling the number, email but can't get hold of them. Are they in L.A. or Orange Ca. ?
Has anyone been here or seen the kaiser?

It looks like a nice one!!

Post by: william shippy on March 31, 2019, 09:25:48 AM: I drove out to 1040 w. Hoover ave. Orange, Ca. yesterday and found out they just moved there from
Carson. I saw the kaiser, nice car like the pictures show. Ser.# K-492-041092 Body# 1777

I've seen this car before in an ad in Hemmings Motor News, Nov. 2018.

Q. Is that a KF drivers side mirror on this car? Seems like I've seen them on other Virginian's

They were still unpacking and setting things up. I talked
to Tony there, nice people. They also had the KF neon dealer sign we see now and then and also a round
dealer sign I don't think I've seen before. I ask if they do events, like a KF club meet and he said yes.

Post by: Gordie on April 01, 2019, 10:48:58 PM: K-F did not make an outside mirror to fit the hard tops or convertibles so if you wanted one you would need to go to a sports car source and that it is probably what this one is, You have a sharp eye!

Dealers commonly double or more the normal handshake level sale price. And they complain when forum members like us point it out.
