    poke around this page for a while to see if it's an OEM ornament, then see if you can find some old JC Whitney or Western Auto catalogs, if it's an aftermarket ornament.

  6. Beat me to it, Jim- we had a '51 four door Kaiser for a while! Picked it up and drove it from Ohio to Philly, and it was great on the turnpike, but I started getting tired, so I took Route 30 right around Gettysburg- BAD IDEA! It had bias ply's and old brakes- both the tires and I were screaming around every corner :D

  8. does it light up?
     
  9. If I remember correctly, there is a hole for lighting- don't know if all models were lit or only special models like the Dragon?
