Bob and Leanne Kleiner's '54 Kaiser Manhatten, the rest of the gallery

for the gallery of this sweet dark cherry Kaiser as I photographed it cruising Escondido: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-town-for-good-guys-del-mar-nats-this.html

In town for the Good Guys Del Mar Nats, this Kaiser Manhatten is a head turner... there aren't any in San Diego.

All original looking besides the rims, and the ghost flames are too faint to see from this distance, but I overheard people saying that they thought the headlights were from a Buick, and they aren't. The owner has had people speculate that it's a 4 door that has been made into a 2 door, it isn't. The cab and roofline look over large for the body, but it's the difference that the Kaiser company thought would set it apart from the dozens of other car copmanies in the 1950's.
