Cap doesn't get thawed out until next year, but he gets backdoor pilot in Strange Tales by way of being impersonated by the Acrobat.
He shows up at an auto show, which I think had even less dignity back then than showing up at conventions does now. At first it's unclear if he was an historical figure or a comic book character,
But of course, in the world of Marvel Comics, you can be both. Cap has been missing for years - how long he's been missing and why will change. The character last appeared in 1954 in our world, but the rebooted Cap went missing during the war, before things get much more complicated by the introduction of at least three post-WWII Captain Americas.
Also of interest, the in-comic comic of Captain America reveals Captain America's identity as Steve Rogers, so it's presumably widely known to the Marvel Universe at the time. This gets complicated, as Marvel tries to re-secretize his identity more than once, and how this works with the idea that his death was covered up. We'll keep an eye out.
