Karens Kaiser
On Thursday January 17, 2013 I went to Phoenix AZ, to pick up the now completed 53 Kaiser from Hot Rods By Dean where we had left it after the Good Guys Scottsdale show in November for the hood to be repaired for 2 dents on each side of the hood caused from the radiator support. Dean cut down the support, straightened the hood, repainted and polished both (you would never know there was a dent) then installed the re chromed dash knobs and lengthened the seat belts.
The car was entered in the Grand National Roadster Show Jan. 24, 25, 26 but the indoor show was sold out by mid November so we decided to go to "The Run To The River" in Laughlin NV.
We left Friday morning and checked in to the Riverside resort RV park with our truck, camper and car trailer. After setting up the camper we got the Kaiser out and wiped it down, Karen drove it down to the show in the Casino parking lot and check-in.
It was very windy that weekend but the temperature in the hi 60's so we were comfortable.
Karen sat with her car for the 2 days answering all the questions and showing off all the special features while I did the domestic chores of taking care of the dogs, making lunch and things Karen normally does at the car shows.
There were some very nice cars there although the turn out was low due to the wind.
On Sunday the River Curisers car club, that puts the show on, have the awards ceremony on the second floor of the casino with coffee and pastries at 7:30 AM where Karen received the best 50's car award.
We caught the shuttle back to our camper and was on our way home by 10:00 AM. We had a good time and it was nice to get out of the house for a couple of days.
I will have to spend a few days cleaning the engine and undercarriage to get it ready for the Sacramento Autorama in February.
