Started attending the summer season of car shows here in So Cal. First was the Downey Street Fair car show 5/1 by Old Memories San Gaberial Valley photo here http://www.oldmemoriessgv.com/images/May_01_2010_070.jpg and then Goodguys Orange County at Costa Mesa fairground on the 15th, photos start as last photo on this page http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/car_shows/car-shows-2010/4th-annual-goodguys/page6.html by Dave Lindsey who runs SoCalcarculture.com, the best car site for So Cal. I know. He took 40 photos of the car! (300-315, 319-331, 689, 690, 835-845) Had the trans go out on the way home and was not able to return on the 16th. The car is presently in the shop but I hope to continue showing it later.

Hey! I saw your car at the Goodguys show! It is beautiful!  Sorry to hear about the transmission trouble.

I met you at the El Segundo car show, I had the Kaiser logo shirt on.

[Cortes121]

Ah yes! I remember now. Glad to finally see your traveler.

Actually, at that time I had a 51 Traveler Special that I had started restoration on when I found this Deluxe in MUCH better condition with an automatic too.

[Cortes121]

So do you still have your special?

[j762538]

No, i finally sold it out of state.

Been driving the Traveler to a lot of shows, in addition to the ones listed, I did one at work, Monterey Park, Los Alamitos (which is on an air base with planes and helicopters too), one at Bobs Big Boy in Downey, went to the So. Cal. meet in Perris (at the railroad museum), The John Force show in Yorba Linda (1 photo here http://www.hotrodhotline.com/feature/2010show/johnforcedec5/, more here http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/car_shows/car-shows-2010/john-force-holiday-/page7.html), and Mooneyes christmas show at Irwindale. Only saw 2 Kaisers, at Cruise for a cure (So. Cal KFOCI members) so lets get those cars out there! Looking forward to going to the San Diego national next year.

Today we went to La Verne. Good show. And for the first time there was another Traveler! Ron Fredriksen had his 4 door there. He told me that he won a tailgating photo contest by Automobile magazine. That was cool! http://www.facebook.com/automobilemag#!/automobilemag?sk=photos
