For what would turn out to be its final year of production, the Frazer was given a complete restyle not shared with its sister Kaiser; ultimately making the 1951 Frazer a rare model when new, and even more so today. Body sides gained front and rear wheel lip moldings and linear creases that made the cars look longer and lower.

The first 1951 models, in what would be an abbreviated model year, came off the production line March 15, 1950, including the Manhattan Convertible. The smartness and originality of this model again showed the fresh, unhampered Kaiser-Frazer approach to motor car design. It was proudly advertised as “America’s only 4-door Convertible with push-button control,” to go from a snug weather-proof enclosed sedan to an open car of unlimited horizons.

This 1951 Frazer Manhattan Convertible Sedan is one of just 131 built in the final year and fewer are thought to exist. It has been restored to very high standards, and prepared in Garden Green paint with dual KF spotlights, KF foglights and whitewall tires complimenting the overall look. Under the hood is a 226-cid six-cylinder engine that is married to a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. An electric fuel pump has been added to help with the overall performance of the car. The interior is tailored with brown upholstery and the Garden Green paint continues in through the dash and the door panels. Also found in the inside is a cabin heater and an AM radio.

The car has been driven a mere 231 miles since the restoration was completed.
