If I sound like a little kid at Christmas, so be it, because that is the way I feel. Do you remember the green '51 Kaiser Deluxe for sale on this forum several weeks ago? ( I looked for the thread today and couldn't find it.) I think that some of you thought, as I did, that it seemed to be an excellent car for the money. Well, I bought it. (See pictures below.) U just want to say that it is a wonderful car from end-to-end. The only thing it needs is a paint job. Actually, the paint is not that bad, but the previous owner told me that he wished it was better. He was probably harder on the paint job than I am.
The best part of all was the truthful way the car was represented by the former owner. What a gentleman! He reminds me that there are still good people out there, that have a built-in sense of honesty. Wouldn't life be so much easier and less frustrating if everyone was that way? I have bought 6 classic cars in the last 3 years --- 4 from gentlemen similar to him and 2 from people I hope I never see again.
He also "threw in" some much-appreciated parts, an extra hubcap, a radio, etc. The best part of all is the Kaiser lab coat. I never knew a lab coat could excite me so much! I almost feel (and told him so after the car was delivered) that the lab coat excites me nearly as much as the car. What a find! I'll treasure it!
Sometimes I complain too much. I know it. I expect a lot from everyone. But, here is an instance where there is nothing but good things to say about a fine man who sold me his fine Kaiser. Cars will come and cars will go, but being fair and honest is always in style. I need to remember that. It's just another reminder that we're in the people business much more than the car business.
