ron hausmann Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 All, Was contacted by Boca Raton Concours folks about showing one of my Kissels at the 2023 Show. Insofar as we have a daughter and her family who live a few miles away at Boynton Beach, we agreed to submit our 1921 Kissel Model 6-45 Sport Tourster. It’s an ORIGINAL Kissel car with 14,700 miles and was a true gangster car from Chicago. And it drives like a big old beast. See you all there !

edinmass Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Ron…….I expect you to visit me when you come down. I would like to return the favor. I’m about 18 miles away from Boynton Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Cole Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Ron, Likewise, I was asked to bring my 1947 Jaguar to the Boca Concours. I submitted the application a couple of weeks ago. See you there. But first there is the Ponte Verde Show this weekend, Gasparilla Tour & Concours, Palm Beach LeGrande Tour & Concours, FL CCCA Mystery Tour, AACA Winter Nats in Miami, McKee Botanical Gardens Annual Exhibition in Vero Beach, as well as several other venues. Then the following week, Amelia Island. George 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 All - The Boca Raton Adventure begins! Had the 1921 Kissel Sport Touring professionally detailed today. It shined up very nice! Will load the car on to a semi car hauler tomorrow morning for its trek from cold Michigan to Sunny Boca ! Will catch up to the car in Florida next week and unload it a couple days before show. Here are pictures today. Ron Hausmann P.E. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Bob, in my experience, they don’t exactly turn with the wheels, they sort of turn on their own. Randomly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
