Vehicle Description
1951 was the final year of Frazer production, and the Manhattan
convertible sedan was the top-of-the-line model. It was the most
expensive Frazer model offered, starting at $3,075 before options.
Just 130 examples were built. This one wears an older restoration
and features a handful of unique upgrades to improve performance
and drivability. The original 226ci inline-6 was replaced with a
350ci small-block Chevrolet V8 engine paired with a 700R4 automatic
transmission, and disc brakes were fitted to the front to handle
the added performance. This Manhattan is finished in black paint
over a maroon cloth interior and a deep maroon canvas convertible
top. This car is loaded with factory options including a power top,
power windows and an AM radio. It has a mild custom, but
period-correct, look complete with chrome wheel covers, wide
whitewall tires and a louvered Corvette air cleaner.
