Merle, surf this site. http://www.newporthillclimb.com/classyear.php?pick=2011

Now I remember seeing that on an episode of My Classic Car. Looks like it could be fun, but I don't see much for lodging in the area.

Thanks for the photos' date=' some great looking cars.

Was the teal colored one next to the '39 a '40 coupe?[/quote']

The teal colored car beside the 1939 Plymouth Coupe is a rare 1939 Plymouth Rumble seat Coupe. 1939 was the last year for the rumble seat in a Plymouth. Looks like it is a P8 model as it has the belt molding that extends rearward from the hood. Probably has the column shifter as well.

Sounds like you all had a good time, despite Mark A's problems.

Sorry to hear the negative news, Mark. I know you've put a lot

of work into that car.

Thanks for the reporting, Greg....always good to hear of the adventures

of others.

Welcome, Steve. You can keep those posts coming from now on.

I'm good with camping. Often times it's more fun than hotels anyway.

My Mother and Sister live about 70 miles from there too, in Brownsburg. A good reason to go down for a visit.

Got a voice mail from Mark A. he got back to St louise at around 7PM. Got the car securred in the garage. Post mortem will proceed when and if it cools down. Guess it was 99 on both the temp and humidity scales yesterday. He sounded relieved that his misadventures are over, and glad to be off the road.

No Plymouths left behind, ever forward.

Yeah I was working out near Gateway Raceway close to St. Louis yesterday and wondered if I would see him coming on the interstate. It was very hot yesterday and will continue to be close to 100 degrees until at least Saturday night they say.
