Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 All neat cars, but I wonder how well a 226 CI flathead moves these heavy bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adequate, though no performance cars by any means, not unlike many of its contemporaries on the road then. The best reason to own a 1949-'50 Kaiser Virginian or 1951 Frazer Manhattan is the low-production, series-custom, hand-built, luxurious, pioneering four door hardtop body style. Notwithstanding the fixed window frames and framed glass B-pillar, the body is structurally a B-pillarless four door hardtop five model years before the 1955 Oldsmobile and Buicks in that popular new style. The Kaiser-Frazer models are the most expensive in the line other than the even rarer convertible sedans which share much of the body structure. At $2,995 list price for a 1949-'50 Kaiser Virginian, it was playing in some pretty heady price territory: Cadillac Series 61 four door sedan, $2,893; Series 62 four door sedan, $3,050. One had to be a hard-core Kaiser-Frazer loyalist to buy a Virginian... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I would take one of these but it needs to be 100% done. I can't imagine the restoration costs. Didn't some of them have a blower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 That first one is a beauty. They all are, but I don't think that the color name "Caribbean Coral" is accurate. The ones labeled "Indian Ceramic", whatever that name describes, are much closer to a Coral color. Blowers? Yes, I think. Judson, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
