Back to School (sort of on topic)

[Robin (UK)]

My son's class at school are studying the mid 20th century.

They were each given a specific topic and he got... Transport!

When they were asked to bring something in, he had an idea....

So, this morning, my wife and I dressed in vintage suits and hats and took our Plymouth to school.

We also took lots of 1940s hats, ties and purses, so the children could try them on.

And we provided music - The Andrews Sisters, on 78rpm records, played on an HMV portable gramophone.

They all had a great time and the Plymouth was the star of the show!

What great pictures! I'm sure that the kids will remember the car the clothes and the 78 rpm records. I have a jukebox that plays 45's, and I have found that most kids today don't know what the old records are! It's wonderful that you were able to give them, what I am sure, was a fun lesson!

That was really cool, Robin.

I'm sure the kids enjoyed that and also learned something

at the same time.

Robin, that is just the finest thing I have ever seen for a show and tell session. You win the "Good Guy" award. Its also the best reason there is fo having a hobby like this. Real-life education.

Bob,

Henry's not in those school pictures.

Here are few shots from The Hot Rod Hayride, in the summer.

1. At the track.

2. In a friend's Buick Limited - Henry actually got to 'drive' this car round the car park.

3. With mum, at the end of the weekend.

Excellent!! Making good memories for kids is what it's all about.

[steveplym]

Very neat. Good way to keep the kids interested in old cars. Thanks for sharing.

[pflaming]

Wow doesn't even come close. I put one of the pictures on my screen saver. When I get my truck running, I am going to steal your idea and do a similiar thing for my grand kids. What a great, great idea. Well done. You ought to put that on YouTube.

On time I took the convert to a pre-school operated by a lady friend

of ours. The kids enjoyed looking at the car and hopped right in to

try it on for size.

And don't forget, kids come in all sizes and ages. Took the car last Sept

to my wife's 50 year high school class reunion. These big kids had a good

time too.
