"deluxe" chrome fender script for 51 Kaiser Deluxe

[konrad]

I see on ebay that a seller has a pair of "deluxe" chrome fender scripts available.  The 51 Deluxe I'm buying does not have these (car can be viewed in the introduction thread I started in the General Discussion sub-forum).

Were these scripts standard on the Deluxe for 51, or a special order/dealer add on?

Many thanks!!

The '51 Kaiser Deluxes and Specials had no model designations on the fenders. The only '51 Kaisers that had model designations on the fender were the 'Traveler' (hatchback). In 1952 when they offered the "Viginian" (which was a reserialed left-over '51), the "Deluxe" and the "Manhattan"  they all had model designations on the fenders. All '52 and later Kaisers (except for the '53 Carolina) had model designations on the fender.

Once I get my baby home and check the inline fuse on the radio, I'll know if I need to send it to you for refurbishing or not.

Huge thanks Jack!  All those pics are awesome.  I have a folder dedicated to everything I can find on these cars.
