Are These Parts from a Kaiser?
« on: January 02, 2018, 07:52:29 AM »
Hi Gang...

See attached photos.  These were in the trunk of an unrestored 1953 Kaiser I recently purchased.  Are any of these parts for a Kaiser or just random cars from the 50s and 60s?

Thanks for any help you can lend and Happy New Year :-)

The one on the far right, middle, is a KF radio rear cover.
If you're thinking of selling I might be interested in it if the price was right.
I don't recognize anything else.
1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe
Edgar Kaiser's custom 1951 Henry J
1951 Kaiser Special
1952 Allstate Deluxe

None of the jacks are KF. The black cover with the vent slot is the heater deflector that’s part of the heater assembly. It sits on the transmission hump.

If you can identify any of the jacks which is difficult.  You can find some pictures on line if you look for vintage bumper jacks. and on Ebay.  Some jacks are bringing 300 plus on E bay.  Jacks do often have patent nos and date codes and bases sometimes have letters stamped.  Jacks are becoming very hard to find, I walked a number of wrecking yards with no success.  Finally found correct jack for my 57 Ford  on E bay  250 plus shipping.  Don't throw them away.
- 55 Willys Bermuda - 57 Ford E-CODE Sunliner - 63 Riveria - 97 Chev K10 - 99 Ford Lightening - 04 jag VDP - 1998 Jag XK8. 07 Lincoln - 08 Taurus X. All old like me.

Even if not KF, could one of the jacks be used on?
