Your traveler was looking great today!

Thanks, next time say hi! Less cars than last year, but still good. Next Saturday we will be at the Pike in Long Beach for a preview of Hot August nights, then the 15th at All American Originals in Tustin. Learned today the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo has an orphan car show on June 25th, the day we leave for the Nationals in San Diego. Guess it will be a long day.

That sounds like a long but fun day.

I don't know if you have ever been to the El Segundo Automobile Driving Museum, but they have a 53 kaiser, and 48(?) Kaiser and a 49 Frazer.

I didn't know they were having a show on June 25th.. I'll have to ask about entering..

Well the Spring Fling AND Hot August Nights in Long Beach has been cancelled so we're going to the George Barris show in Culver City.
See if you can find 2 photos of our car on this page. http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2011show/laverne_cool_cruise_2011_roger/
Yes, I have been to the ADM several times.

People love to take photos of the hood ornament and badge!

My wife says the photos could be of the other Traveler that was there.
Today we did the George Barris car show in Culver City. Good show with lots of cars. Got an award and photo with George! Will be looking for photos to post or link here. There was a guy with a 54 Kaiser Manhattan there that said he only goes to that show as he doesn't trust his car too far. I showed him (and others) the Bulletin and suggested he join the club.

[Cortes121]

There was another green traveler there??

And the Culver show sounds like it was awesome. I'd really love to see pictures of the '54... I 've never seen a running '54 in so cal except for a wild custom hot rodded one...

Randy posted some photos on FaceBook from that Car Show.
Did not think he would mind if I shared them with you.

What color is this?


Enjoy

That '54 looks very nice, I hope he joins the club.

Thats my lovely wife in the window. About the same photo here http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2011show/george_barris_culver_city_car_show_mike/html/georgebarriscarshowmay7mike_63.php but you should check out all the other cars, there were some wild ones, like the pool table car and a shortened bug. Heres one with me on the left http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2011show/george_barris_culver_city_car_show_may_7_les/html/georgebarriscarshowmay7les_15.php (I'm not the kid) waiting to park, there were so many cars. Next 2 photos of the inside and back befor we unpacked. Thats another reason to have a Traveler, it carries a lot of stuff. And a photo of the awards, http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2011show/george_barris_culver_city_car_show_may_7_les/html/page_2_97.php one of which I received. Still waiting for the photo of me with George Barris.
 Found another one here http://www.examiner.com/classic-autos-in-national/george-barris-cruisin-back-to-the-fifties-culver-city-car-show-2011-picture#slide=32965301

May 15 started to go to the all American Originals show and it was raining. As soon as I turned on the wipers, the drivers side flew off! Thought it was broken shaft so we went home. It turned out to be a good day and I got the wiper fixed but would have liked to gone.

Took a break from shows and got the Hydramatic adjusted, went to our cabin over Memorial day (and it snowed, a rarity here in So. Cal.)

Today did the Classic Cruisers North Orange County show in Anaheim, Canyon RV park. Very nice day, lots of cars under the trees, games, excellent raffle and a very nice goody bag. There was another Kaiser there, a 4 door convertable owned by Jim Williams. Both he and I got nice awards too. Studebakers did good too. On the way out all the CCNOC members stood by the side of the road thanking the people leaving. Very good job done by them. http://classiccruisersnoc.com/gallery/canyoncruise060511/images/100_0163.jpg

On the 11th we attended the Fountain Valley car show held in conjunction with the Summerfest. The cars were setup by class and this is the first show I have been to where they had the cars drive up to the presentation stage. Got a couple photos here. http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2011show/fountain_valley_car_show_2011/index.php People like taking photos of the hood ornament. Talked to the guy from Hotrodhotline.com and Dave Lindsay from Socalcarculture.com was there too. http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/car_shows/car-shows-2011/fountain-valley-cla/page2.html I have corrected the sign. Next car show... the Nationals!
