Title: Rare upside-down Kaiser for sale

Actually based on the picture of the "apolstry''  it is a rare Dragon and probably worth saving. No idea what it might cost to flip it over so it's right-side-up.

This car is also interesting in that it appears to be a club coupe with no rear window vents that all two doors have.   A club coupe Dragon was found but I have never seen a two door Dragon if it is authentic.  When Jack Edward owned the club coupe I noticed that the entire trunk area was upholstered.  If these Dragon seats are authentic they are definitely out of a two door car.  Continental kits were not available from Kaiser in 1951.  This is an interesting car!

You can see the car right side up if you look at the July 1st posting by Jake. Could this car be a '52
Virginian with Dragon seats someone put in years ago ?

An interesting car for sure. It has a painted metal dash with chrome lower trim, Autolite electrics and the correct continental kit for the 52 Virginians. A fellow KFer recently purchased a 51 two door Traveler with the same seat material.

A look at the trim tag would answer many questions.

I like the color.
Looks like the seller was able to flip the car back over right side up for this ad.
