Find one of those $500 running parts cars and you're in business! Or, a blank canvas for a V8 project. I like the red paint...it looks good on the 54 body.

Interesting car. It has a 55 hood ornament, as well as a fog light switch and window washer button mounted under the dash.

This is apparently the Kaiser that was mounted to the outside wall of the Peterson Museum until they decided to remodel the Peterson and the museum has been closed for many months.  Some of their movie cars are currently on display at the Ronald Reagan Museum in Simi Valley.  Although the wrong color for the interior it seems to be a very good buy and as mentioned before, a decent parts car would make this one very desirable to own.  I hope that one of us buys it!

Had this been available when I bought mine, I would have been all over it. A small block V8, Turbohydramatic and away we go. After finding some seats.

Saw that mounted on the building for MANY YEARS.   Would guess it was frame-welded to some I-Beams and must have been heavily reinforced to meet Los Angeles building codes for EARTHQUAKES because of the sidewalk and pedestrians below!
