Wednesday afternoon we took off to a local Car Show in Detroit Lakes. The weather was windy and 72 F. We visited with a cousin of Far Guy's and a gal we had not seen in 20 some years who used to be married to a cousin. Good visits all around...nice to get caught up with relatives.
I had the most fun seeing this car. The dash is bamboo. See the K on the glove box? That should give you a hint.
It was a beauty...we had fun talking to the people who owned her. 1954 Kaiser Two Door Coupe!
This is most likely the last car show of the season...there is one more at the end of the month but it is further away.

What a great looking car!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty that 1954 Kaiser is! Love the dash!
ReplyDeleteNow that's an unusual car!!1
ReplyDeleteThere's a 75 Charger over at the lot and if I had the $12,000 to spare, I'd totally be buying it.
A bamboo dash! I had never seen anything like that before. It's beautiful...as is the whole car. I'm glad you got to go to the car show, Connie. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe interior is beautiful especially the upholstery. So happy you had a fun date!
ReplyDeletePretty car! I wonder if the seatbelts are original - 1954 seems early for seatbelts.
ReplyDeleteA fun day! That car is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a gorgeous car. I have to google it as I've never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we don't use the term coupe anymore.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty!! I too wondered about the seat belts
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a Kaiser, as in car! It's a beaut.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a Kaiser automobile, just my health care carrier. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty. Car shows are fun.
Nancy and Granny M, I did not ask about the seat belts. But many people add seat belts when they have their interiors done:)
ReplyDeleteI had to research the Kaiser. I guess I missed that one all together and people in farmland southern Iowa didn't drive one. It is a great classic design. I like the color of the one you are sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous car! Thanks for sharing it with me. :-)
ReplyDeleteCar shows are always so much fun. One of these days, I may have a Subaru to show off in one.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is a beautiful car. It's so well kept and shiney! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

When I worked at the library in the 80's, we had a grampa and grandson who would come in for manuals through interlibrary loan to restore a Kaiser.
ReplyDeleteWe went to a huge car show in a major city right before Covid. I could care less about the new cars. We spent most of our time at the vintage cars on display. So beautiful!!!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the car show...and bumped into some friends and relatives too! Good for you. Always fun to see the cars you show!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool looking car! Never seen one before. Love the colours too, red is always my favourite.
