Title: '51 Kaiser at auction
Post by: Gordie on January 21, 2020, 06:16:43 PM
The March issue of Classic Car magazine pictures a very nice looking black restored '51 Deluxe four door on the block in Palm Springs McCormick auction and it was described s a "good deal" at $14,840 and showing 78,000 miles.  1951 Kaisers are among the best looking cars of the fifties and apparently others agree!

I saw that 51 in person. It had a laser straight body and a beautiful black paint job. The interior was presentable but used a generic modern fabric. A nice car and considering what Kaisers have been going for lately at auction, a high price. Our 52 has a much weaker paint job than this 51 but a much better interior

I know Lot of Folks like First Model Year. I always wait till 2nd Year for when they Get all the Bugs out of It even Today.
I think last Years of a Model before they Change they add all the Ornaments.

You can see it in 1951 Kaiser - 1953. 1947 Kaiser & Frazer through 1950.
1954 A Face Lift plus larger Fin’s that Light up for Safety.

The 1953 dragon (stardust ivory with black vinyl top) at Barrett Jackson in AZ sold for under $26,000 plus buyer premium.  Lately, when a 1953 Dragon in the condition of the auction car crosses the block as sold, the car fetches between $35-42K.  This and the 1949 Kaiser Vagabond at another auction recently tends to suggest really decent K-F cars are one of the best buys in the marketplace.
