Haven't posted in a while as we have been keeping busy. Did the Muckenthaler Concours, Frazier Park, one in Huntington Beach, The BBQ Festival and car show in Costa Mesa where we got best original, Tustin, Cruis'n Brea, La Habra, where we won 5 raffle prizes. Then spent 2 weeks for work in Florida, where I went to a few antique stores and got a '50s Brownie camera for the car. Since then its been real hot here but we did a show at The Pike in Long Beach, a cruise night in Cerritos where we won one raffle prize, the coolest car award and the $227 50/50! Another in Long beach netted the best orphan award and yesterday in Norwalk we got an very nice award from the president of the California Elks. Comming up is El Segundo, Belmont Shore, another in Long Beach, and one on the Redondo Beach Pier. Haven't seen any other Kaisers out there but we talk to a lot of people about it. One guy is working on one and another sold me a very rare hardcover book that is the 1947 report that Floyd Clymer wrote about buying a Kaiser in Willow Run then driving back to Los Angeles. Its a very detailed report on the Kaiser and he talked to other Kaiser owners including a 3000 response survey. It has lots of great photos too.

Did El Segundo, skipped Belmont Shores to go to Oregon to look at houses, and did another in Long Beach.

Just got informed by a guy that did a photo shoot of the car that it is in an online magazine http://editions.amospublishing.com/AEW/default.aspx?d=20120921&pagenum=1 The article starts on page 38.

I always said if I was going to buy a Traveler to use, I would get a 4 door to be able to get to the rear easier. Well, I found one, a 53, with power steering too. I was thinking of getting rid of the 51 but it has some nice things about it, more chrome on the dash, a neater hood ordament, nice styling, so I will keep both for a while. Its hard to decide which to show!

Here's our 1951 Kaiser Traveler Deluxe with the best of show trophy and all the other stuff we brought to the La Habra Valley Community Fair June 8th. The ribbon is for Pats award winning baking and the eggs from our own chicken.

This weekend we traveled to Burbank, entertainment capitol of the world. Friday night we went to Bob's Big Boy restaurant, popular with car guys, where it was packed with old cars and people. There were some young people there too. Saturday we joined about 200 other cars at the Downtown Burbank car show. Got some great swag, 3 shirts and a framed poster, thanks Marissa. Talked to a guy who worked at Willow Run doing data entry. He said if he got a number wrong they might install the wrong transmission in a car. Had Chris from USA Today do a 2 minute video interview with me about the car. It should be on their web site soon. I did not know they had awards, as I bring the car out to show people what was built besides Chevy and Ford back then, so I was surprised to get the Most Unique Vehicle trophy after which I was interviewed by Joyce from MyBurbank.com. Also talked to another KFOCI member who didn't have any of his cars running. I encourage members to get their cars out to shows, people are really interested in them, can tell some stories about them and want to know more. I will post photos later.
