Another 51. Must be the Week for 51's

Original 1951 Kaiser Deluxe. Original car, runs and drives, flat head six. She needs some brake work. Please excuse the dust and dirt, she's been sitting for a couple of years but cleans up really nice.

 Nice straight car, has some minor rust on the front edge of the hood.

 Give us a call to come down and take a look! -Andrew 8643442272

Interesting. It is a deluxe but I don't see an overdrive control or a an overdrive relay on the firewall so it looks like it does not have overdrive.  It also has a 1949/50 Kaiser steering wheel.  Likely a solid car.

That's interesting.  I widened my Auto tempest search so it did not show up until today, for me.

Is that a Nash parked next to it?

Jim knows better than I, but I will guess it's a Nash or post sale Hudson variant, 1955? 1956.  This place looks like a dealer. I can understand them running it for sale for years when CL was free, but now it will cost them $5 a month to not lower the price.

Yes.  That is a 1957 Nash Ambassador, the final year for the Nash nameplate.   
I was looking to see if there was another CL listing, but nothing showing.

...and with the continental kit added.  One of our high school band directors had one.
