GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW

January 21 to 26 2015 we took the 1953 Kaiser "Karens Kaiser" to the Grand National Roadster Show "The Grand Daddy of Them All"

 We stayed at the KOA RV Park next to the Fairplex, unloaded the car from the trailer on Thursday morning and carried the display carpet sticking out of the passenger window. Waited in line an hour before they would let us into the building.
 We got in, unloaded the carpet & lay'ed it down, moved the car in place and started the display setup that took 2 hours including the cleaning.

 One of the outstanding was this hand formed all aluminum car.

 This 1947 Hudson truck won first place and best paint.

 Moor beautiful hot rods.
 This is one of 13 contenders for most beautiful roadster.
 The theme was The Grate Gatsby and lots of people dressed up.

 This 1959 Cadillac De Ville is from Italy and was hung up in customs untill just before the show.


 Lots of low riders like this Lincoln Continental and the chopped Pontiac.
 The 34 Ford below won most beautiful roadster.
 This is a sectioned 50 Ford built in the 50's and recently restored.
 Karen won 1st place in Full Hardtop and took Dean, who did all the paint and finish work on the  Kaiser, on the stage with her.

 A very happy Ron & Karen.
 The Kaiser will go to the Sacramento Autorama at the end of February next.
