Each November we try to go to the Good Guys Scottsdale show as we like the RV area and the large number of cars they draw each year.   This year there were over 3000 cars and trucks. We took Karen's 53 Kaiser as Hot Rods By Dean ask us to put the car in their booth to show the wide variety of work they do. We arrived on Thursday and took the car to the Dean booth that afternoon, the show did not open until Friday.  Friday was fairly busy and we spent most of the day at the show. About 2 that afternoon my daughter  came to the RV with 4 of my Grand children and brought Thanksgiving dinner for us to share. We had Ham, dressing, veggies and a plate of fancy pears  along with sparkling cider.

Arrived on Thursday, set the camper up and checked in then on Friday took the Kaiser into the show.  The first day I went down to the polo field area and park on the pavement in front of the vendor area.  This car, parked next to us, is from Wickenberg Az beautifully done with a great owner the was nice to visit.  Model "T" with a big block Ford engine stuffed under the hood.  On Saturday Karen helped set the car up in the Builders Choice area where the top 10 cars are picked from.  This 51 Ford took the top 10 an...
