Rudy has just a few parts cars left and better ones in his garages.  If you want to see a collection of over 100 each check out Kaiser Bill Browns's back yard or the cars from Fred Walkers estate.  Most will never find a home.

Swapped emails with Duane Hayes a few days ago. He said he recently bought the Walker collection of Kaisers (100+) to keep the estate from crushing them, hopefully to be bought or at least parted out. If anyone concerned with saving cars wants to adopt a few orphans, I'm sure Duane would welcome that.

Good to hear.  How do we get in touch with Duane?

That is great news!  Hopefully Duane will be able to make up a list of what is available and their conditions.  Duane is a KFOCI member and lives in Colorado.

I'm guessing it was neither cheap or easy to take on a hundred cars. I'm sure Duane would welcome some interest.

The point of the picture is?

If Duane wants to do something with the cars, there should be a new thread for it, rather than use THIS VERY OLD NEWS (check the dates on the first posts) to talk about it.

Many club members don't have barns or lots of land to keep cars on, and they just get worse over time.  Rudy offered the cars for sale back years ago, and the restorable stuff got new homes.  He got rid of what remained as it was not good for parts or to be restored.  Don't forect that California and the west coast has its own deterioration problems with salt in the air off the Pacific Ocean.  Since most of the forum users are not members, they would not know about Andy Schroyer (may have last name mispelled) who had dozens of K-F cars stored out in an orange grove.  When the land was redeveloped, a lot of cars were found with body rot, including holes in the roof from the accumulation of the salt.

I agree with comments from other posters on other threads about cleaning out the old stuff from the Forum.  But club management first has to establish criteria (last post date, topic being out dated, etc) before the cleaning can take place.

Cleaning isn't a problem for me.  Interesting to read how current comments happened.

I agree if you remove information from the past you loose some answers from people who may have the information you are looking for.
I have found many answers from the past.
