1952 Models Page 1


(521-1) Leftover 1951 Kaisers were fitted with hood ornaments with black plastic ring and tip instead of the clear used on the 51s and retitled as 1952 Virginians. Many had a continental spare tire kit installed as well. When the true 52 models debuted, some of these Virginians were still in dealer inventories. This folder measures 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 and opens to 23 x 8 1/2 inches.
