Kaiser wheel covers question
« on: July 10, 2020, 12:19:10 PM »
Hi,
Can you tell me what year Kaiser this style is from?  I'm guessing 1951.  My '53 wheel covers have the big K in the middle.
Also, did the center logo have paint on it at some point?    I will have 6 of these to sell when I go pick them up.   Thanks,  Jim

Gordie,
You said that there was silver around the "K" but was the  K painted or left chrome?   Thanks,  Jim

The K is unpainted as in your illustration.
