f.f.jones Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Contrary to the seller's description, this car does not appear to exhibit any of the specific characteristics of a Kaiser "Dragon". But I certianly am no Kaiser expert. Note the reference following these pictures for more "Dragon" information. https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/murray-1951-kiaser-golden-dragon-door/7525486432.html I have a nice running and driving Golden Dragon it maybe the only one left in 2 door. There was only 400 produced in 1951. And less then half was 2 doors. Its all original even the paint. I can send videos of it running. Call or text Cory at (509)850-7000 Here's more information on the Kaiser Dragon than you probably want to know: https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-1951-53-kaiser-dragon-altered-beast/ Edited August 25, 2022 by f.f.jones (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) What makes this one a Dragon? I see no trace either. Are there production records that would confirm it? Edited August 25, 2022 by Bloo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 1952 Dragons “usually” only had a continental spare and lizard / alligator pattern upholstery. I think a high end hood ornament too. That’s about it. Jim might know more. 1953 Dragons were far more trimmed out and truly special. But 1951 they were just an attempt to use up some bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 That upholstery is wrong. And as far as I know, 1951 Dragons had no special VINs so whatever the seller calls this car makes no difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkf Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 All Dragons built were four door sedans. KF never built a production Dragon trimmed two door. With the exception of the dash pad, all of the materials used on the interior of this car are incorrect. While most everything to make it right is available, it doesn't come cheap. On the upside, the Oakwood Brown exterior does look very presentable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Did all Kaiser 2-door sedans look like a 4-door with the rear doors welded-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 That appears to be the case. It looks like they share the same roof, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
