The Plymouth goes to church.....

[BobT-47P15]

Received a call a couple days ago from a young man who is music director

for a local Baptist church. They are having this weekend a Christmas music

program done in "big band" style. They wanted some old cars from the era

to add to the flavor of the event. A lady gave him my name as having such

a car.

In the lobby of the church are parked a 40 Ford 2 door and a 39 Plymouth

coupe.....both street rods. They went thru the doors of the building with

an inch or less to spare on each side. However, the Plym was a couple

inches too wide. So, it's outside the doors instead. Which is OK...I just

took it home last night after the show started. Will bring it back on Sat

and Sunday for the other two programs.

Looks good Bob, hope the floor, and supporting structure is strong enough to hold up the 2 cars. Or is there no basment under the floor.............Fred

[BobT-47P15]

Fred......no clue about the floor. We do not attend that church, have

actually never been thru the building. It has developed into a huge

place over the years with several additions. Sits near one of the

busiest intersections in town.

Since it is a 40s theme, I placed the "A" sticker on the windshield.

I'm sure the old timers will know what it is.

Can I ask a dumb question about the A ration sticker? By 1946, the war was over. Were they still rationing gasoline and rubber when your car was new?

[BobT-47P15]

I doubt it. I just thought it was a general period item. Lots of people won't

even know what it is.

Arrrrrgggghhh! Every time I see that yellow convertible of yours jealousy eats my liver like acid.

[Frank Elder]

Now those are my kind of holy rollers!

[Norm's Coupe]

Bob,

While your convertible was at the church, did it get baptized?

[BobT-47P15]

Norm, it might have gotten sprinkled today (Sun) as it rained this afternoon.

So, it stayed in the garage and did not make an appearance for today's

show.

However, we attended the program tonight......it was basically set in 1941...

was a very nice presentation. They said they began rehearsing back in

Sept.

Here's the program they had.
