RESTORATION OF A 1954 KAISER MANHATTAN...

 

I found this car through an ad in Auto Trader magazine on my way to Chicago from Indy... I always liked Kaisers, and the '54 was just the best looking of all, so I bought her.  It was a super-solid example, and needed little other than some freshening up... Of all my cars, this one is the most dependable!

     
  Picking her up... Even though it was raining, Lindsey gets down in the dirt to pull her up onto the trailer with his winch.......
  Another view...
  The old paint comes off...
  The sanding continues...
  Here she is in early 2003, waiting for some new paint...
  Waiting...
  The hood scoop got replated, but it needed some attention down in those grooves. 
  Why don't they make buildings like this anymore?  Why don't they make CARS like this anymore???
  She's a driver...
