A NICE WINTER CRUISE
« on: January 23, 2016, 10:05:20 PM »
I took the Henry J out for a cruise today.
It was 25 deg. and sunny.  HJ has a great heater.
The town was filled with those enjoying the local Ice Fest.
I "had" to go up and down main street several times, turning heads all along.

One guy pulled along side and asked what make of car--said Kaiser, of course.
He responded using his hands in a back-and-forth motion, saying "sliding doors" Kaiser.

Now that is a true testament to the results of getting our cars out on the road to the public!

Good job Terry
I wish we could get more Kaiser owners to take their cars out and to get more KF cars to the convention and local events.
I am fortunate to live in Tucson because of our nice weather. Went to a car show the last 2 weeks and there is another one this coming Saturday.
People love the KF cars.

With 2 1/2 feet of snow here a KF cruise would be out of the question!

Of course, it is always summer here in Southern California.   No matter where I go with either one of my cars,  I get stares and the "What is it?, Who makes it, etc.", at stop lights, driving down the road, etc.    We have the original Donut Derelicts (look it up on-line), here in Huntington Beach that is weekly.   No one runs it, rain (it never rains in SoCal, it's called liquid sunshine) or shine, people show up with their cars!!!   Take them out, show them off!!!

My '53 Dragon often got the "nice Cadillac" comment.
