Title: Today's shakedown cruise
Post by: 51Deluxe on June 14, 2014, 06:31:34 PM

I live near Lebanon TN, where an AACA national car show was held today. I made the 120 mile round trip with no incidents and got a few photos. Pictured are my '51 in front of Thomas Drugs, an 86 year old drugstore in Cross Plains TN, and in front of the Snow White Drive In, an original drive in restaurant in Lebanon TN still in business.

At the car show, I met two Kaiser owners/club members and got pictures of their cars, a '49 Virginian 4 door hardtop and a '54 Darrin,  for my forthcoming documentary film. According to the owner, the '49 has 12,000 original miles, has the only known original fabric top and still smells new. The '54 Darrin, which looked like a candidate for the junkyard prior to restoration,  is restored as close to new as humanly possible and appeared flawless. Owners are Kent Zschoche and Bill Morgan.

The '49 was at the Sweetwater convention and was quite the hit there.

That is a nice 49. Love the Polar Grey...

You and I both.  I knew you would like that one.
