I KNOW THERE WERE NO KR 175"s MADE AFTER 1954 Or EARLY 55. but here it is----the VIN tag appears to be an original-----this is the first 175 I have owned--the number appears to be on the cross tube by your feet-----1 number is not clear. but the others match the tag----I have read everything I can find and it appears Fritz Fend made 9 Sports or Sportsters with no top---pull rope start & no reverse in order to have the lowest price car in the world-----this car has electric start and mechanical reverse----the side bars have been dropped 4 for easy getting in & out as a true roadster is said to have been----this car has a mukini carb and starts & runs but not right---I have the original Bing but parts are missing----jacking it up and turning the wheel show all gears  to function-----I have used it as a display & attracted a lot of attention at car shows----research shows the sports were very slow sellers and there is even mention of selling in kit form----is it real---or a 1 off custom-----if it is a custom. why did they date it as a 1957---- unless it lay around the factory & did not sell untill 57???   a lot of unanswered questions-----professional paint---good amateur uppolstery----engine sounds good at idle but runs to rich to drive above idle-----listed in several places---this car will sell---SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS---some under SALVAGE PARTS CARS---FOR MORE INFO CALL  870-324-4124
