Honeymoon pictures big thread again

[Young Ed]

Our first stop in the Dells was the automotion car show. We met up with a few POC and forum members. Merle and I planned to meet up but the rest were a surprise. We heard from some of the guys Claybill planned to come but was maybe going to be there sunday instead.

First Merle Ken Bartz and I in front of Ken's 40 plymouth

And now Merle Macgyver and I in front of Merles truck

Heres a few other interesting cars from the show.

The only other p15 appeared to be a rod

A stude for Greg G

My personal favorite

Not a fan of the car but I liked his hood prop

Rest of the car pictures here

First stop after the car show. Dells mining. Was quite fun we "found" some nice rocks. Basically they stash unfinished rocks in dirt and let you mine for them.

We're having this rock turned into jewelry. Doesn't look like much but its actually march's birthstone and Carmon has a march birthday. So 6 weeks after our trip this will show up as two 1/2 carat aquamarine earings.

[Young Ed]

We played mini golf a few times

Went on a WWII duck ride

Bought some treats many places

[Young Ed]

Stopped at a lot of antique places. Saw this sign on the wall in a few of them but this one had the best display of it

[Young Ed]

On the way to Door country we side tripped to the Jelly Belly factory and company store in Pleasant Prarie WI. Thought of Norm as we drove through Milwaukee

Here's Ronald Reagan made of Jelly beans. Apparently his love of Jelly beans and discovery of jelly bellys is largly responsible for their success today

[Young Ed]

Once in Door County found this fun car at a gift shop. After talking to the owner she took our picture in the car!

[Young Ed]

Went to the Hands on Art Studio

We made a tile mosaic picture frame for the little girl who was supposed to be flower girl in the wedding but wasn't able to make the trip from NC. Then we went to the metal shop and I cut our last name out of steel with a plasma cutter. Never used one before it was quite fun!

Great Pics Ed, looks like you and Carmon had a great time.....

[Young Ed]

Some more Door County sights. First a swedish( I think it was) restaurant with a grass roof and goats on it to keep the grass mowed

[Young Ed]

Some old car sightings

Fire station with 2 old trucks in it. I took pictures through the windows but they didnt come out too well

[Young Ed]

Few scenic shots of the plymouth

[Young Ed]

And the giant chair in front of our motel. Here's the link to the rest also

Oh and the finished projects from the art studio

Read the pink tiles to see who the frame is for

[Edward Roberts]

What a great trip and great photos. I do believe, though, that the Jelly Bean art is a portrait of George Herbert Walker Bush. Don't really know why they would use Jelly Beans as they were definitely attached to Reagan. I think H.W.'s favorite snack was Pork Rinds - which would be a pretty gross medium for art.

Thanks for sharing!

[John Reddie]

Real nice photos Ed. Thanks for posting. Is the red car a Chrysler or a DeSoto?

John R

[Young Ed]

You've got me second guessing myself but I believe 61 Chyrsler. There was no asking price it said make offer new brakes. There were no seats in it and the grill was in the interior. Very solid floors etc.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I'm going out on a limb here but I think the little grilles on the rear are a New Yorker trim item..

[John Reddie]

It sure looks like this '61 Chrysler in the photo. The red one would be really nice restored to original I think.

John R.

[Young Ed]

Trim is different so its not a new yorker. I bet that little badge under the front door handle says newport.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I still stick to the new yorker..look close and you will see the front grill section is missing off that rear fender..these grilles were still mounted on the Chryslers through the late 80's

[Young Ed]

Tim look at the very front edge of the fender. The blue one says new yorker. The red one has a crown on the door. Also the trim on the side is totally different. The red one comes down onto the side while the blue one stays up on top of the fender

[Plymouthy Adams]

I did not even look at the other trim..was looking at the little "gills"s stuck on the side...I had always seen these on new yorkers...that was the trim I was referring to...told you up front I was out on a limb...

[Young Ed]

Tim Tim Tim how many times have we told you to look at the big picture

[Plymouthy Adams]

I almost answered the red car question by pointing out that was a 80's pimp mobile Camaro....then I saw the big Mopar...9 times out of 10 I do not see any of the pictures till late evening

any body want a set of these gills to install on thier customized ride?
