B Jake Moran Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 That's rare. If I could have 3 KF's, one would be a 52 Manhattan, either 2 door or 4 door. Admittedly, the 4 door may proportion the lines better but 2 door 52 Manhattans are very rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.f.jones Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) There was a Kasier 2-door sedan and also an even more rare club coupe in 1952 Its difficult to tell which is which when seen alone. Together, the club coupe has a shorter roofline and a smaller rear side wiindows. The 2-door sedan has real or simulated rear side vent windows, where the coupe does not.

jimkf Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Because this is a two door in the Manhattan line, this car has more value than a four door in similar condition but I still think the asking price is a bit optimistic. With a lot of chrome work to be done and a fair amount of body work as well, somewhere closer to $4500 might be right. I've owned, and still own several KFs and while parts are reasonably priced, finding some can be difficult. For 1952, 1315 two door Manhattans were produced and a KF club registry says 14 are known. I'd say that number is probably closer to 50 given that several previously unknown examples have popped up lately. If I was in the market I'd strike a deal, lose the cheesy headlight eyebrows, put the mirror back where it belongs and drive it as it sits and fix it up as you go. You'll have the only one at your local show! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The car has some strange lines, almost looks like a four door that has had the rear doors sealed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Still a high-styled, well proportioned and elegant car. I've always thought that if ol' Henry J had sprung for an OHV V8 to start with, his namesake car would have done better. As an independent it would still have been an uphill battle, but when you were treading in upper middle price territory and the competition had V8s or at least an OHV inline 8, even a "supersonic" flathead six had a hard row to hoe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
