Mission Accomplished

[1950 Special Deluxe]

16 monthes ago when I trailered "our" new car home from my in-laws after my father-in-law's stroke I told him that I would get it running for the local car show in August and they could come in and I would drive him down to the show. The show was on a Saturday and I got it running (sort of) on Thursday. We drove it the 6 miles to the Wal Mart for the show. I was feeling smart and told him I would drive it the 75 miles out to their town, Rosetown, Saskatchewan the next summer for the 25th anniversry of the local show. Well, that weekend appeared very quickly and I was committed. My son and I left Saturday morning, at 50 mph on the speedometer the GPS read about 47 mph, close enough for me. There was my car and 3 others in the survivor category, 3 trophies and I received a "Participant" plaque, too funny. We travelled 200 miles in total and all went well. Only other Mopar was a combination of a 40 Dodge truck and a 40 Fargo truck.

Very nice, glad the trip went well, if these cars are in good mechanical shape they can travel, you did 200 miles, probably could do 2000 miles, if you take it easy........Fred

Trying to get home before dark, I fought the urge to go above my self-prescribed speed of 50. I made it just at dark, all lights work, but still wanted to make it before dark.

Neil,

Glad that you were able to make the trip and not have any problems, as you will see the longer you own the Dodge, these old MOPARs are rugged, dependable machines.

Now you and the family can take the camera with you on some outings in your area and take lots of photos of the surrounding countryside:)

Thanks for sharing,

Bob
