Took a trip to Ohiopyle in the mountains for our anniversary. The Coronet performed pretty flawlessly. And my wife is pretty flawless too.

My co-pilot, our barn cat Berlioz.

Our Vermont gardens -- working gardens really, mostly for growing veggies. My wife does 99% of the garden work. I do ALL of the remaining 1%. I spend a lot of my time on the vehicles in the background. ? Pete

Cool ! Finally able to upload a picture of my 52 ! Thanks. This beauty spent its life on the Mt. Home Idaho AFB. Has 57k original miles and runs and drives like a dream ! Lots of looks and thumbs up ! It's a boyhood dream come true. I intend to leave it in it's original "patina" ! I figure it's earned it !

Memorial Day Salute From The Powell's.

I live on five acres...fields and woods.. High maintenance for sure. No gardens...have enough to take care of.

This is the other side of the party shed

This a picture of one of our “rock” gardens. Hope it counts. I am done for the day and we just put steaks on the wood fired grill. My friends always say we are crazy for all of our lawn and outside projects. I tell them it’s cheaper than having a therapist.

Been doing a bit of digging of dirt....placing the moisture barrier and wire tomorrow morning....shooting for a Friday pour....

Could it be you are starting out in third and not upshifting?

Sorry I have no idea. Logically speaking if it was in the car and fit - it should be original...I know, not much help...Very nice job sandblasting !

I was just on the Hershey AACA regions webpage this afternoon to get a status for the Fall October Hershey Event for 2020. As of their current posting and see that attachment, Fall Hershey is still scheduled for October 2020 The Hershey regions webpage is located at Hershey.aaca.com. I suggest that you book mark this webpage so you can stay informed as to the status of the event. We all know that most of the car shows and swap meets have been cancelled because of the C-19 virus. The other day I received a facebook messge from Mike Warsaw Moparpro and he had a question that looked as if it had came from the AACA regarding if the vendors were being asked if they want to have the event or to not have the event. Not sure where mike got this memo. I am going to try to reachout to Mike to get more information I live near Valley forge and according to Gov. Wolfe we are schedule to go to GREEN around June 5,2020, so we are all keeping our fingers crossed. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com

To my brothers and sisters who did not return. You are not forgotten.

That part number came out around 1946 ...but that housing could be used also in later years.

We used to have a luau every two years which all the dodge people were invited. Merle and Mark usually attended. We now moved to every 4 years. This is the year of our luau. We are still tentatively planning it but stay tuned.

I ran my 53 Savoy wagon with carbon core wires for nearly 80,000 miles. Stock of course. Solid core on my restored cars.

Doubt it would pull 3200 in OD.

The car was purchased new on 31st October 1938 from Newton King Ltd, the local Chrysler dealership. It cost NZ£449.0.0 - that's the equivalent of about US$898 and probably included some registration fees. I haven't found the original receipt etc but it may turn up in heaps of Grandfather's papers still on the property. I do have the original insurance company policy dated the same day recording the purchase price and vehicle identification numbers which confirm that it still has the original engine. Serial number from tag on door pillar is 3926960 and the engine number is DP6262847. So I presume it is the P6 motor with the D stamped in front to signify it as a Dodge allocated powertrain. I have read that there are Chrysler Corporation Build Cards out there somewhere that can give specific information about individual vehicles. Does anyone know how to access these? This week I hope to go to the local electroplaters and pick up some grille pieces. Will post some pics if this eventuates.

I redid my seat cover by hand so I’ll try to redo it myself

Had a guy who used to work for me who drove a fairly new Toyota Tacoma pick up. We were talking one day as he was leaving, he said he was going to change the oil in the truck. I asked, Didn't you just change it two months ago? He said I do it every 1200 to 1500 miles. I said what do you do with it, he said his brother worked at Napa and he took it to the recycle barrel. I told him I would take it.He said ok. I didn't buy a bit of oil for my winter heater or lawn tractor/ mower, snowblower till he retired, and a couple years after.

you did not reverse the linkage..not eve sure if you could but at the minute need to throw that out there...my 54 is a slush-o-matic...I'm a shiftless bastard...
