Mark D Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Great to hear it Joe! Stay tuned for more info. Greg and I will be visiting the area next weekend, shortly after that we will publish an loose itinerary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Pleased to have you consider it. Our first long trip was to Charlotte, 727 miles. The thought of it was daunting, the reality was a pleasent trip on the back roads. I would suggest you consider coming up the Deleware water gap area, route 209 brings you right into the event area. Also this is not a Mopars only deal so if you have other folks that may be interested, spread the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Flanagan Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Greg, I was just looking at the route that takes you through Delaware Water Gap and I think it's the better of the two. There seems to be less switching from road to road and it looks like nice countryside. 320 miles is daunting but I imagine the Plymouth can do it. I'm looking forward to it.

greg g Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 just think of it as 6 55 mile segments. The drive up the water gap is very nice, speed limit is 45 most of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Bumping this up to the top of the list just as a reminder, Greg and I are going to be in the Hudson Valley area Friday night through Sunday morning. If you care to meet up or potentially open your garage for some fender leaning Saturday afternoon, drop either Greg or I a private message, and we'll throw you a number to get in touch with us. We heard from Big Daddyo and Mike Fowler. Hoping to catch up with both you guys this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Also heard from Rich W, he is also from the nieghborhood. Interesting seems to be gaining strength. Should be able to post a tentative schedule by Sunday or Monday with lodging details to follow. Remember no registration, required but will need to have a good guess on numbers when we announce the lodging arrangments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Had a great day touring up and down the Hudson River with Greg. Had breakfast with Rich W and toured his collection, he's got some nice stuff! Love that convertible Rich. Hit spots such as the Ashokan reservoir, new Paltz, West Point, and Hyde park. Drafted an itinerary, will release it as soon as we get rate confirmation from the hotel. Photo taken along the route.

Mark D Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well, after a few hundred miles, lots of touring and a few beers, Greg and I came up with what we think is a decent itinerary. The attached flyer will give all a good idea as to what's we have planned for August, but we may have to jigger a few things over the next couple months. We'd like to make a commitment to a church group that has agreed to make us a lunch on Friday, so we're looking for rsvp's. Email or PM Greg or myself with commitments and questions. Looking forward to meeting more of you all in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Placed my reservation tonight. Three others registered along with me. For those that haven't yet, do yourself a favor and use this number 845.691.6888, it's a direct dial to the hotel. Thursday's rate is $80, Friday and Saturday are $100 per night. I was able to ask and receive a first floor room which makes it handy to get in and out to the cars. Front desk told me they will hold rooms on the first floor for those that wish.

greg g Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Booked, Booked,Booked. Hope you all get/got some one more intelligent than the fellow I had. He asked my name four times and asked what the name of the room block was three. Finally found it and got me a reservation. If you have trouble getting folks to realize what you are trying to do ask for Jennifer. She is the facility manager and the person whom I made the original contact with.

greg g Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Met a couple of fellows at the MOPAR show today who expressed interest in our Tour. One owns a 40 Plym 2 door sedan, and the other a 54 two door sedan. He got it from a fellow in the Poughkeepsie NY area and he was told that FDR's Chauffeur was the original owner of the car. I told him to come on down and maybe do some research at the FDR Library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Brzostowski Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi Greg, Mark, et al, Finally unpacked enough boxes to get the 48 out for a first drive of the season. The car is running just fine. The way things are shaping up is that I might have to leave the wife at home. My daughter was going to watch our Labrador but recently adopted a hound dog that is a little nuts so with her two cats the hound and my lab the way things look is that we either both stay home or I come on the trip myself. I will know by the end of the week and hope to book a reservation by then. If the wife stays home then I will drive up from Delaware on Thursday. If she wants to come I will trailer the 48 to the Hotel. Also will need to register the car here in Delaware before making the Hotel reservation. Need to bring the car to the state inspection station this week. Who knows what lies ahead with that. Just an FYI because I have been out of touch lately.

Mark D Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi Chet - good to hear from you. I know for sure Greg and I have both made reservations. Glad to hear that you will be with us. Hope your wife gets to join in, but certainly understand the complexities of life. Greg and I will both have the brides in attendance, so anyone else that decides to join in should let their wives know they wont be Plymouth widows for the weekend. Just about a five weeks out and we are really looking forward to the trip. Speaking of which I've gotta find some time in the garage to replace my wonky light switch before we head west. Mark Hi Greg, Mark, et al, Finally unpacked...... Chet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
