John_S_in_Penna Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This car looked familiar. It has been listed in our "Not Mine" section before. Clearly, the owner had visions of grandeur when he priced it; but he priced it where the demand was zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Oh yes! Way back in June. To quote Paul Newman in a movie I don't remember the name of "I've got a good memory, but it's short". 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, no one has been able to call him on it. Not a lot are left in any condition- my guess would be 300-400. I know of one in a field in south central Iowa.

JamesR Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 8 hours ago, Leif in Calif said: Restored as close to original as possible I wonder how close that color is to original? Regardless, I really like that color on this Frazer. It makes the car, in my opinion. I've seen many others of this make an model in different colors that were much less striking. And the interior matches it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Frazer indeed offered metallic paints, this repaint looks TOO metallic. Or perhaps it was done in basecoat-clearcoat, which is giving a brighter appearance than the paint should have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Paint is not right and I know nothing about KF. However, I'm sure I said this in the first thread: Very Nice Car! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkf Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 According to the KF club's vehicle registry, they are aware of 62 1949-50 Frazer Manhattan sedans. A total of 9248 were originally manufactured. Most survivors were long ago cannibalized to restore the more valuable convertibles and hardtops. Originally planned for just the 1949 model year, over production meant that leftovers were reserialed as 1950 model year cars. Strangely, most of the survivors seem to be 1950 versions. Fender skirts could be added to the sedan and dealers sold a kit to do so, but originally, they were only factory installed on the hardtop and convertibles for 1949 and 1950. I, too, suspect that the paint isn't correct. It looks like a metallic and in 1949, the red - called Dubonnet - was not. Somewhere just north of half the asking price is probably more correct for this car, although restoration costs probably meet or exceed the current ask. It is a nice car overall! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
