Thanks for stopping by to take a look at one very cool 1954 Kaiser Manhattan Coupe. This former show car is a Southern California beauty. Being a Resto Mod, she’s clearly not one for the purists. For those who like something different, this is one your friends won't have. Let’s check it out!
Rarity
1953 was a rough year for the Kaiser brand leaving some 2000 vehicles unsold coming into the 1954 model year. These units were sent back to the factory and retrofitted to 1954 spec with new front end treatment. The VIN confirms this car was one of the group and the title has the year model as 1953.
At some point in life she underwent changes including a GM front clip, a 350 V8 and a GM automatic transmission. Cadillac power seats. The gorgeous factory chrome trim went monotone and a So Cal Hot Rod was born.

Inspection
Please come inspect this great car before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 70 year old used car. It will need periodic attention just as any classic does. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something boring.
