I think Rudy may be the only source for the repros but may also want to check with Larry Barker for the repros or replacements.

Looking for the upper taillight lenses on the fenders of the 1954 Kaiser, referred to as safety glows. I believe those were reproduced years ago. Is there a source for those now?

In between my last comment and now, I had the same issue occur with my 70 Dodge Coronet. I replaced the turn signal switch and everything now works as it should.

Nope. Just a coincidence. No brake light on right side. Just an intermittent problem. Dropped the bottom of the instrument panel to check wiring. Nothing looked loose or broken so I put it all back together. Now I have no brake lights on either side. Everything else is the same, just no power to the brake lights. One step forward, two steps back.

I attended the auction and the pictures speak for themselves. A solid car in need of a good detailing - once running would make a good cruise night conversation piece. Although the interior was redone incorrectly, it looks good and few would know otherwise. The six cylinder engine that came out of the car was on the premises and did not sell with the car.

The other KF offerings were in similar condition with only the Darrin sold as a running and driving car ($58K).

I saw the car listed at the auction.  Thanks for the update and pics!  Based on the pics, which shows the data tag for confirmation, this car was originally a six cylinder car with overdrive - very rare for an Allstate.  Strange that the engine was replaced with four cylinder as usually it's the other way around, the four cylinders engines are replaced with a six cylinder.  Look like a good car for someone to get running/roadworthy and enjoy!  It has Henry J hubcaps on it as the true Allstate hubcaps/wheel covers are next to impossible to find.  It does have the two blank backup light covers - those are very hard if not impossible to find so that's a big plus.  Seems like a good deal for the money.  Here's what the Allstate hubcaps look like; No "K" on them, just a smooth spot.
