Is the car from the 1st pic the same of the 2nd?

[GrahamClayton]

Hi everyone,

I didn't realise that if I removed the images from photobucket that they would not be visible in this thread.

So here are the 2 pictures, one of the exterior, and one of the interior.

Moved to the experts!

It isn't something as simple as a 1949 Kaiser-Frazer Manhattan 2 Door, is it?

The one and only 1947 Kaiser Pinconning Special "conference car".

[GrahamClayton]

Hi Dynamike,

Correct - 1 point for you!

The Pinconning Special was built for the wife of one of the Kaiser factory managers inDetroit, a Mr Hunt. She had a disability, and for this reason the large sofa seat was installed. The car was named the "Pinconning Special" after the home town of Mr Hunt.

Thanks, GrahamClayton ! That is an interesting story behind that car

Pinconning is the cheese capital of Michigan.  Extra Sharp Pinconning cheese is a delicacy, highly recommended by yours truly.  I just so happen to have some in my fridge as I type this post.  I go through Pinconning at least once a month.



P.S. Congrats, DynaMike, on your entrance into the club of Pros here at AP.

Thanks Ultra!
I'll have a piece of old Gouda cheese to celebrate

That should be gouda 'nuff.
