General Discussion / 2021 National convention stay in the hospital

« on: July 17, 2021, 06:14:25 PM »

Hi everyone
I just want to say the convention was a great success.
Everyone I talked to had a great time.
Unfortunately I ended up in the Rochester hospital on the last day with double pneumonia.
I am still in the hospital doing much better and hope to be out Monday.
I want to thank everyone who was concerned about me. I sincerely appreciate everyones concern.
We have a great group of members.
A special thanks to those that took care of my cars to get them back in the trailer.
I missed the awards and the banquet hope everyone had a good time.
Now on to 2022.
Thank You everyone
Lee Abrahams

Darrin Forum / Kaiser Conventions

« on: May 06, 2021, 07:33:53 PM »

Here is my original post.
I reposted it as a reply to my second post. Lets see if this one disappears.

We are starting to put together the kaiser convention in Jackson MI.
Jackson is the birthplace of the Kaiser Darrin. This convention will be a place to bring as many Darrins as we can. It is not just for Darrins it is for all KF cars. As soon as information is available as to dates , hotel , tours, cost we will get them to all the members through the bulletin. If you own a Darrin or know someone who owns a Darrin we want them at the 2022 convention. There are 100’s of Darrins out there. This could be the biggest convention in a very long time. We know it will be in July we will have the dates soon. Save the month. Let’s try to make 2022 a great turnout.
More information to come.
Again the 2022 convention is for all KF cars. Lets get 100 KF cars and 100 Darrins. Wow what a convention that would be. It is up to all members to plan to attend.
Thank you
Lee Abrahams

General Discussion / Who is censoring this Forum ??????

« on: May 06, 2021, 09:23:54 AM »

I put in an open letter about the 2021 and 2022 Kaiser convention it ha been removed or relocated
  WHY ?
I thought this was an open Forum not like Facebook or google.
There was nothing offensive or untrue in my letter.
My intention was to help both conventions. I have had a lot of opposition ftom some elected officials wanting to get through the 2021 convention before starting on the 2022 convention why can’t we do both? We all should want all conventions to do well. The more advanced notice people get the mor planing people can do.
Do any of you think this is a bad idea?
I know i am a bit prejudice because i like Darrins and the 2022 convention is in Jackson MI which is very near Willow Run where most other K F cars were made.
Not sure what i can do. Just trying to help a failing club to get well again.
If this is the way our elected officials and club members want to run things i may have to think long and hard about my attendance at future conventions.
We very seldom see new people at the conventions this may be why.
SOUND OFF

Darrin Forum / THREE MORE DARRINS FINISHED

« on: August 28, 2020, 09:18:36 AM »

I have finally finished 3 Darrins that I started over 3 years ago. One Red, One Yellow, And One Green.
The green one just got the top the red ones top is next. They are all original a bit different for me my other ones are modified. The Red one belongs to Terry Robinson, The Green one I am going to sell and the Yellow one is going to my house in Chicago. The other 3 Darrins will stay in Tucson. I am now working on the X7 prototype of Mike and Victoria Haskins.
If you have any questions about your darrin please contact me and thanks to all of you for answering my letter to update the darrin registry. It is going slowly but well.
Hope to see everyone at the next convention in Rochester NY in 2021.

Willys Forum / 2022 KF Convention

« on: June 16, 2020, 11:05:48 PM »

want to let everyone know that the 2022 KF convention will be held in Jackson Michigan the assembly plant of several Kaiser cars most notably the Kaiser Darrin.
The owner of the Hackett Auto Museum in Jackson Michigan , Ted O’ Dell is going to help put on the convention with the midwest division. We all want to try to have the biggest turnout in a long time. There is a lot of automotive history there and a big turnout of KF cars especially Darrins would be great for our club. We will try to get the dates as soon as possible so all of you can plan to be there.
Lets make this the best convention in a long time.
Keep it in mind maybe we can get 100 cars there wow that would be something. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
Hope to see all of you at the 2021 convention in Rochester NY.

We want all Kaisers the good the bad and the ugly. Original, modified, hot rods, done, in process, survivors if

Darrin Forum / SIX DARRINS

« on: January 08, 2020, 01:38:07 PM »

I have finally got 6 of the 7 Darrins in one picture the racing Darrin was not available to get in the picture, I am going to have it photo shopped in . One of all 4 colors and a prototype.
The prototype X7 belongs to Victoria Haskins which I am going to get running and refurbished not restored and the red car on the right front belongs to  Terry Robinson which is being restored.
I thought it would be a great picture that I would not be able to put together again.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
