bamfordsgarage Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Our good friends Guy Butcher and Eunice Kratky in the UK have driven their 1933 Austin 7 from Baltimore, to Alaska, to Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina, and Guy is now writing a book about that incredible journey. He would dearly love to acquire a copy of the book "Adventure South" about a similar epic journey undertaken in 1941 by three fellows in a 1941 Plymouth. There was much information and photos about this "Richardson Pan-American Highway Expedition" published in the Plymouth Bulletin in 1982, but a copy of the book itself has proved elusive thus far— can anybody help? Read more about the Richardson Expedition here (its quite a story!): http://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/cc-vintage-the-adventure-south-to-the-tip-of-south-america-in-a-1941-plymouth/ http://www.plymouthbulletin.com/adventure09.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) it is listed on Amazon, but currently not available...I also looked to see if in e-book but came up empty handed... I read the excerpt that was printed in Hemming's as later posted on the POC I think it was...very interesting read...

TodFitch Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 While looking for the book on line you could be watching the first half of the movie they made about the trip at: https://archive.org/details/rough_road_to_panama Unfortunately, I haven't ever found the second half of the film.

TodFitch Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Looks like the grandson of one of the adventurers has posted both part one and two of the film about the Richardson expedition on YouTube: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Other places to look for the book: half.com biblio.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamfordsgarage Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Sadly, Amazon, Half and Biblio came up dry, but I'm looking into a inter-library transfer if one can be found for loan. 1940Plymouth, do you recall which library had it and roughly when that was? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
