Chester Brzostowski Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello, And welcome form Virginia USA... Boy these old Mopars certainly get around. Chet... 48p15 SpD under construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 So, as you can see, these old MoPars are indeed more dependable than certain women. Here's my dumb question of the day: do they actually build any cars in Norway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 The fellow on the right is Buffen Buue, president of the North American Car Club of Norway, if I remember correctly. (Not the very best pic - taken at night) They spent the night here in Joplin, MO in June as part of their Route 66 tour from Chicago to California. I think there were 17 cars on that trip...all shipped over here, driven on the tour, then shipped back. Another pic of some cars: This group of vehicles was from the 50s and 60s.....all very nice. While here, they went to a drive-in movie.....some or all of the people had never been to one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGSWAY52 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Answer to the question about making car's in Norway is sorry no!

Normspeed Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Welcome to the forum. It must be a challenge to find parts and services for an old Mopar in Norway. Let's see, now we have members from Norway, Netherlands, Great Britain, Curacao, Canada, Mexico....wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the pictures a little bigger (the fender skirts, cruiser skirts, lakes pipe mouldings, etc....). Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
