Cobra hood ornament or central hood chrome strip.
« on: April 03, 2008, 02:37:07 PM »
I have a picture on my web site of a 1948 Kaiser that has a cobra hood ornament or central hood chrome strip.
Does anyone know if this was offered by Kaiser-Frazer and a factory option?
A picture of this can be seen on
http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Kaiser/

It's the two tone blue four door sedan that was submitted by Tom Martin.

Thanks John

There were several aftermarket hood ornaments offered for Kaiser-Frazer owners.  One popular one had a big buffalo at the front of it and another set had a big K or F at the front.  There was another that looked like a torpedo shape and others too.  None were offered by K-F for the 1947 or '48 cars.

After looking at the picture on the web site that appears to be a 1949 Frazer Accessory hood ornament.  They were very popular when they came out and many owners put them on their earlier cars.
