I drove my Kia to this float trip, and after going up and down all those hills in Missouri it seemed like it was gonna break when I got home. But it ended up going back to normal. I could get in it and drive all day still, if it had insurance lol. Hundai/Kia makes some pretty decent cars.

I hate you!
Just kidding, we all want this kettle. Congrats!!!

Amazing find. Sounds your wife deserves a new one of whatever she collects or at the very least a meal from The Ambassador!

Incredible find, congrats!

Awesome story! That was one of the last grills to appear in the club. Ambassadors are very few and far between. Thanks for sharing the story!

All cleaned up! The wheels are very rusty, I might go back and do an evaporust soak and repaint as others have done, also I found out that the triangle was upside down because the end is broken. So that's the only way it stays in. Finally the one leg socket has one of the three welds loose which causes that leg to splay out as it sits down. Anyone have any experience on this? Can you just spot weld one weld in place? This is a new situation for me. I've had whole leg sockets detached before, but not this. Razor scraped the lid and bowl, very easy clean up, light use...the ash pan was the devil though. Overall very happy to have this grill, but would like to get that leg socket fixed, so if anyone has ideas, let me know.
