Very nice!
It does resemble the Kaiser that was in Hot Rod Newsletter.
I'm still looking for hub caps that have patina.
Anyone on here have or know of any please contact me.

I have some 1949 Kaiser small caps with lots of patina (called shelf exposure).  These are what I call "transportation hubcaps" as they will cover the hub of the wheel, but don't look anywhere near pristine (but the chrome is not peeling off).

Will the 49 fit the 47? I've heard that there are two different caps for 47 and I'm not sure which ones I need. Any help would be nice. How much for your caps?
I'm almost certain I have the original wheels.
Thanks for the quick response!

If your car has spring clips on the rim then you can use caps from a 1949 Kaiser or Frazer. If your car does not have the clips, then you're limited to the early production "knobby" style cap. They're so-called because the rim has knobs, or bumps on it that hold the cap in place.

The article in the Newspaper that was found in the California library system, connected the pickip with the collector out of Oregon who was gracious enough to come forward about the birthplace and conception of the pickup!

We were up in PA and went by the ACCA Museum and saw  Gary's Kaiser Pickup Truck (Posie)(green).
Even though I feel they ruined it by customizing it from it's originality, It was awesome to see it and to learn more about its origin and to see it's provenance. Truly a great piece of History as is the Frazer Pickup shown in the article above!

Have you attended a KF meet with/without your car? If not, you owe it to yourself to see what the organization is all about by joining us at a show. The club has members of all flavors, from folks who've just become interested in KF, to those who bought the car if not new, then when they were young previously enjoyed cars.

With this mix comes a knowledge base that far exceeds what you will encounter on this forum, only because of the sheer number of people. We have nearly 1200 members around the globe who enjoy the cars and when an odd one appears, you will have those who just have to know more about it. And what better way to do it than to bring it to a meet. So, I encourage you to give a meet a try...I'm sure your car will leave them scratching their heads!
