I just picked up 1953 Kaiser Manhattan and starting to layout how I want the look of the final project. Anyone out there with ideas for a Kaiser?
Nice! 2 doors are rare. I wouldn't change it much. Lowered, shave, paint, and whatever drivetrain you want. Keep it simple.
Funny story about a Kaiser Manhattan.... My 80 some year old great-grand mother drove one.... Dad borrowed it one night, and the next day she asks, "How fast did you drive it?". Dad said "About 90". She sneered, and said, "Why, it will do 120!".
