THE KAISER VIRGINIAN
The 1952 Kaisers hit showrooms essentially unchanged from the 1951 models, returning with the same handsome Dutch Darrin-penned styling and the quirky character that reflected Kaiser's staunch independence. Lacking the budget to develop a full model range, Kaiser offered the Virginian in Special or Deluxe trim, and in two- or four-door body styles. Power came from the proven Supersonic L-head inline-six, with the option of a Hydra-Matic transmission.
THE CAR OFFERED
Distinctly styled and brimming with character, this 1952 Kaiser Virginian Deluxe Club Coupe is a wonderfully preserved award winner that has been cherished since day one. According to the consignor, this car was purchased new by noted Kaiser expert and collector Dave Murray, who kept it on display at a dealership for more than 25 years. It was shown at the 1976 Kaiser-Frazer Owner's Club national meet, requiring only the restoration of the original terrycloth seats in preparation. Since acquisition from the Murray estate, the Kaiser has been meticulously preserved, down to its Satin Blue over Mariner Blue paintwork, which is said to be mostly original, with some light touch-ups noted. This car features many appealing options, including a Hydra-Matic transmission, two-tone paint, automatic cigar lighter, oil filter, and the factory continental kit spare wheel. It has earned two prestigious and well-deserved Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Senior Awards: a National First Prize in 1998 and Grand National First Prize in 2008.
With just over 5,500 Kaiser Virginians produced in total for 1952, you're not likely to encounter another one of these stylish coupes as you waft along in comfort.
