On 2 episodes Kramer alludes to the fact that he has a large number of traffic tickets but have we ever seen his car? Have we even seen him driving a car? In the LA episode we see him take over the wheel of an 18 wheeler from a lady trucker. This question about Kramer's carma must be answered!!!

The Kramer drives a large early 70's, orange brown, Ceverolet(I think) model unknown. I did get a chance to see it on an episode. I believe it was the ASSMAN episode when Kramers personalized plates were mixed up at the BMV with a proctologist. Kramer recently drove the rear of a hook and ladder fire truck. You've got to love the Kramer.
In Holland they just broadcasted a Seinfeld where Kramer's car was town away. It's the episode where Kramer and Newman are involved in a mean game of Risk. Kramer is afraid that Newman will change something on the board, that he takes the board everywhere he goes. Even when his car is parked wrong and Seinfeld tells him they are towing away his car, he runs out of the room but comes back to take the board with him. So I guess Kramer does have a car.

In an episode that was broadcast on FOX (Toledo station) the other night, Jerry and Elaine were stranded at a party on long-island and Kramer came to pick them up. While we didn't see the car, he mentioned that it was a convertable and that he couldn't get the top up.
Is the big green ASSMAN car a convertable?
Kramer also drives a car in "The Parking Garage" and last week's "The Seven."

In TOW they lose the car in the parking lot, that's Kramer's car. At least he is the one driving.

Also, when Jerry and Elaine get stuck out on Long Island Kramer picks them up in his car. The top won't come down; however, so they both get sick.

Also Kramer drives (or at least starts his car) in "The Race". It's Kramer's backfire that Jerry mistakes for coach 'so-and-so's starter's pistol.
A couple of other noteable things about that episode:
Jerry gets a girlfriend named "Lois" (whom he 'saves' from an old nemesis). Jerry's line of non-participation: "I choose not to run" George (playing-out his architect role) claims to have designed the new addition to the Guggenheim museum.

This stuff proves my longtime contention that they care less about continuity than they do about jokes. They needed Kramer to have a convertible, so he did. (You notice that we never actually SAW the convertible).They needed Newman to have a car, so he did. They needed Kramer to be interested in listening to the fire department on a scanner, so he was.
The writers aren't worried about creating a perfect world, they are in it for the laughs. You can bet that if they came up with a story line that needed Kramer to be a helicopter pilot or for Newman to own a duck, then this would happen.
Contituity changes in real life too. I don't keep the same car forever and I often try out new hobbies, passtimes, sports, etc. Why shouldn't the posessions and interests of the characters on the chow change?

So? . . . it's a sit-com, not rocket science.
Besides . . . how do you know Newman DOESN'T own a duck???
yes...what's the point?
In the episode where they go to George's officemate's party out on Long Island, Kramer comes to pick them up later that night. He mentions that the top is down on his convertible because it's stuck so Elaine catches a cold riding back to Manhattan.

Also, don't forget that we see his car in the "Assman" episode- an all time classic!

Don't forget the LeBaron (?) that he bought, thinking it used to belong to the actor Jon Voight.

Wasn't the car that George from a dealer that was previously owned by a Jon Voigt a LeBaron or New Yorker?
Yup, he's got a car. An old 60s or 70s boat, a convertible I do believe Last week there was an episode where Kramer picked up Jerry and Elaine from a party on Long Island and he couldn't get the top up, in winter

What about the Chrysler LeBaron previously owned by John (not Jon) Voight?

The van was rented. Something about the police were looking for who rented it because of the failing shocks on the passenger side. And then Jerry goes, "Newman!"

Newman's car was a brown Diplomat i think
Newman drives a brown diplomat (parking ticket episode) K-man drives a brown Ford (Futura, I think)
