frankieflathead Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Finally got a chance to take the old Dodge out for a longer drive yesterday. Put about 70 miles on her, and gave her the exercise that she so sorely needed. She was running okay before I left, but ran so much better afterwards. And thanx fur lookin'!

frankieflathead Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 Wow, double WOW, those are some great photos, thanks for sharing You're very welcome. Although it wasn't a perfect day up here, it was nice enough. The little town of Grafton provides some excellent backgrounds for photography. Hope you're feeling well enough to get out and about sometime soon yourself. Quote
greg g Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Do you ever get up on Rt 17 near Mad River Glenn? Had an opportunity to drive that stretch 2 years back coming home from the Chrysler Meet in St Johnsbury. Made it up all the hills in 3rd. Had to get ito 2nd on the down hill side. Quote

Not in the Dodge, but I have driven it a few times in my modern car. It can be an exciting stretch of road, hey? Quote
frankieflathead Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 Great photos! Thanx, Tod. Quote
RobertKB Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Love the pictures of your car with the wonderful backgrounds. They are perfect examples of why I like old cars in basically stock conditon. They are time machines that take us back to a different era. The backgrounds just add to the sense of history. 1 Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I cruised mine by the old service station and on up to the old building that was once the gristmill. Got home and the bills were still due, gas was still 3.29 a gallon ...time machine my butt... Edited May 13, 2013 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote
LAKOTA169 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Great photos. The black and white sets them off. Thanks for posting them. Quote
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 $Gas at $3.29. Sigh, just a dream here. That would really take me into the past, Old Plymouth or not. 1 Quote

Thanx, Robert. Me too, and my Dodge couldn't possible be anymore stock than it is. Only concessions to modernity are radial tires and 6 volt halogen headlights. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 actually the signs say 3.29 in the small town closest to me but 20 miles away and where I normally fill up when out and about...3.16 Quote

Dave72dt Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 must be nice. Ours has gone up 20 cents in the last 2 weeks, sunday at 3.74 although I'm sure there are places that are higher Quote

knuckleharley Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 I don't know how you did it,but those photos could pass as postcards from the late 40's. WAAAAY cool! 1 Quote

The backgrounds are a large part of what makes these shots work. That and the classic lines of the D24! 1 Quote
