General Discussion / 1955 2-doors - how many left, and last sale?
« Last post by ChrisBcritter on November 21, 2024, 02:42:49 PM »
Hi all,

I'm doing a little research on the remaining 1955 Kaiser Manhattan 2-door sedans. From the Registry, I see ten listed (one listed as "parts"). The one that was for sale in San Jose a couple years ago (51467-5001) isn't on the Registry, nor is the single-tone black ex-Tom Null car. Has anyone verified how many are actually still around, and condition? I've seen Ed Johnson's car (5014) on YouTube, which looks like the nicest survivor. Thanks!

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).
