Dusted off the Golden Dragon this weekend despite the threat of possible rain showers and attended our first ever show Sunday. There were 4 judging categories of stock, modified, late model and British. Judging was done by a peer structure with all entrants getting to cast their ballots.
The Kaiser was very well received and drew a lot of attention and questions. Stock was the largest category and we ended up placing along side some stiff competition. The other top 4 were a flawless ford fairlane skyliner, a flawless 57 bel air, 67 gto convertible and an original paint un-restored 31 ford cabriolet.
The rear main seal is leaking but it's not too bad at the moment so I'm just going to ignore that for now. My only concern is as I was backing it into the garage at the end of the day, I put it in drive, pressed the gas and nothing happened...it just began to rev up and then suddenly popped into gear. Is it common for the hydramatic to occasionally be a bit finicky about shifting into gear? granted our parking situation is a little odd so it has to go between drive and reverse 3 or 4 times to get it parked so I figured it just didn't like doing that so many times in a short period of time. I'll be keeping my eye on it though.
Pretty sure my wife got as many comments on her dress as we did on the car
