Greetings folks, I guess I'll do a short(ish ) introduction since this is my first post. My name is George, I have a restoration shop and have been working on old cars since I was old enough to hold a wrench. A customer of mine has a 55 Chevrolet pickup in my shop and offered to trade me a Kaiser to cover part of the restoration cost. I looked into it and it's unique enough that I figured why not. The more I've looked into them the more they attract me and since my wall clock in my shop is made from a Continental 4 cylinder head I just had to jump on a car with a continental engine and automatic transmission. What a wild combo to have a very low tech engine with a very high tech (for it's time) transmission!?!
At any rate, the 51 Deluxe is now at my shop and ready for me to get some time, or one of my employees to run out of work so I can get started on it. The car is very complete and has minimal rust. It was last driven in 2007 and has been parked since then so it'll take a bit of work to get it running, but not as bad as some vehicles I've worked on that have been sitting for multiple decades.
Here she sits ready for the trip back to the shop.
