Midwest Division Meet Pictures
« on: May 14, 2015, 11:33:18 PM »
I attended the Midwest Division Spring Meet car show in Middlebury, IN today. I made the 3 1/2 hour trip down to look at some KF products and meet some KF people. Had a great time and several good conversations. The car show took place at the Das Essenhaus Inn & Restaurant where there was already a car cruise in progress. I arrived about a half hour before the KF club got there and thought I was in the wrong place. I was surrounded by hot rods and walked around the entire place. Not a KF product in sight. When I made my way back towards the front of the lot I saw a big line of Kaisers and Frazers making their way onto the adjacent field. That was quite a sight. I took a few pictures. Enjoy!

No problem. I had a good time. Did you get my private message? I sent you one just now but the forum is telling me I have no sent messages. Weird.

 My first chance to meet several in the local KF community.  Most welcoming and helpful with many classy well loved cars.  Looking forward to future events.  Hanging with the Hudson crowd in Fort Wayne tonight.  Oh. and Not Mike but the other gentleman with parts- trunk carried.  When I remember who you were if one item is still around- I may buy.  In the box with the column mount switch...

Just back from my weekend of attending various car show/meets. On Friday, I attended the Midwest Willys Reunion in Hudson, OH where they had about 100 people and somewhere around 30 Jeeps and Willys/Kaiser Jeep built vehicles. There were quite a few CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, and M38A1 Jeeps, as well as station wagons, pickups and a very nice Jeep Surrey. In the mix as well was a mid-60s Kaiser 2 1/2 ton 6x6 wrecker that two guys drove from western Ohio...brave souls!

Saturday morning found me at the KF Midwest Meet in Shipshewana, IN. There were 18 KF products represented, including a 53 2dr Deluxe, a 53 4dr Deluxe, and a 53 Deluxe Traveler. Very rare to have three Deluxe models represented at one show. About 70 people attended the Saturday evening dinner (it was delicious) at a local restaurant that's usually only open for breakfast and lunch.

I'll post some pix from the Willys show soon.

At the KF business meeting, we reminded folks about the fall meet in Louisville, KY, and the national meet in July in Gettysburg...register now for both! In addition, we talked about the spring 2016 Midwest meet and a location was chosen for it - see my Monthly President's Message entry for more about that. And, there will be a fall Seaway meet - check the bulletin for dates and a location.
