jimkf Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It's a 48 Kaiser Special in either Dubonnet or Cardinal red - I'd need to see the trim tag to know for sure. It looks reasonably solid so if it can be made to run and drive without a lot of expense and - if one can live with the seller's interesting choice of interior material - you'd have something different to drive. I've owned several 47-50 Kaisers and they are easy to drive and maintain. The radio would be the hardest thing to sort... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Back in the day (1954-1955?), my Dad was offered a '48 Kaiser like this one. They were a reasonably solid and dependable, staid, but uninspired, and somewhat uninspiring car - especially to a teenager who was impressed with OHV V-8 Caddy, Olds, Buick, as well as jet-age styling of Cadillac and the newly restyled and supercharged 1955 Kaiser. $20.00 or 25.00 as I recall, with a reasonably decent interior. It was running and driving - just a decent used car in fair shape, but with a serious clutch chatter. Dad chose to pass on the '48 Kaiser, and bought a '50 Nash Statesman - 4-door with the flathead "6", 3-on-the-tree and no overdrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This is of little interest to anyone, even Minnesotans, but those are the earliest MN Collectors plates I've ever seen, they started numbering at 600 000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 @Hudsy Wudsy I had a chance to buy a ‘48 Kaiser with 3K actual miles from the estate of a retired K-F dealer in Bayport MN about 1990. Asking was $5000! My 1946 Dodge had collector plate # 600025…..very early! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) @Fossil Egad! Last seen, it was sporting a purple paint job, chopped top and a 350 Chev…..ugh!🤮 Here it is the day I bought it. Sold the Western Bullit wheels and reinstalled the stockers I received with the car.
