Title: Cobra hood ornament or central hood chrome strip.
Post by: johnmd 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

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.
