I know this is not a 50 and not a Dragon?
Could someone help me identify this car?

1950 kaiser dragon - $10000 (merced)

So, here is the whole #
K512-054443 on the plate in the door jam.
5121-41924 on the fire wall in the engine compartment.
He said it is all orignal. If you would like to see picture send me your email edc1953@msn.com.
In the KFOC registrey it shows the following:
K512-053731 5121-41625 375 2825 1 6 9 168 2130 Gerkhart PA Dragon
K512-053756 5121-41331 Lamoreux IL Dragon?
K512-053762 5121-41460 401 2826 1 6 9 168 1238 Wamsley IN Dragon
K512-053815 5121-41457 375 2825 Hall MN Dragon
K512-053887 5121-41507 375 2825 1 6 9 Brundige OR Dragon
K512-054107 5121-41756 195 2823 1 6 9 168 1081 Rall NE Dragon
K512-054288 5121- 999 2826 1 6 9 172 9 Zimmerman MN Dragon
K512-054314 5121-41856 325 2822 Asher Dragon
K512-054663 5121-41900 195 2823 Hausgen Dragon
K512-054666 5121-42300 375 2825 1 6 9 168 1301 Markitan SD Dragon
So this looks like one that has never been registered and could be a dragon.
Any help in what this car is would be much appreciated. EDC

There are definitely some bogus Kaiser-Frazer cars on craigslist and some very erroneous ads -
Here's a couple of examples:
http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/1132927587.html
First of all, it appears to be Frazer with a Kaiser hood/grill over it. Seller claims 'It's the only one in New England.' Maybe it's the only one in New England with a Kaiser hood but there are a number of other 1947/48 KF products in that area to be sure.
Then there's this one -
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/bar/1142657267.html
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/1142645140.html
It's a 1951 Kaiser, the seller claims "Believe to be all original" but clearly was misinformed or simply lying. If the car is a 1951, it has 1953 tail lights, which would bolt right onto a '51, and a 1953 hood emblem and hood ornament, which would also bolt right onto a 1951.
I guess what I'm saying is you are wise to check as you are doing. Hope you get the info you need. There are many bogus examples out there.

This car does look original from the pictures.
No Gold plated trim parts.
No Vinyl top (hard top)
Has green frog pattern vinyl seats and dash is all Chrome.
Does have Dragon Script on the side (maybe put on after the fact)
Does have a 1953 Hood ornament? is that normal? (Maybe put on after, too)
It is a 1951 Deluxe 4 door sedan with dragon Trim and I appreciate the information!
Thanks again,
