keithb7 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) In the northern hemisphere it’s prime cruising season. Pandemic or not, we go out alone if needed, for a little cruise. Many of us wait all year for summer cruising, and its here right now. Where have you been lately? Post a pic. Share a story. We’d all love to see your car and hear about it! Tonight It was warm here. Overcast. After the sunset I felt the urge to go somewhere. Anywhere. I drove less than a mile to my mail box. Checked the mail...Nothing. Saw a photo op. Then took a “long cut” home around my neighborhood. The old dash lit up in the dark is comforting somehow. That was my quick cruise tonight. Let’s hear about yours. Pics please!

hkestes41 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 My most recent outing was to Chick-Fil-A last night when my wife made it known that she really wanted a Chick-Fil-A chocolate chip cookie. Feel kind of silly going through the drive through and ordering two cookies, but what the heck. It was a good excuse to drive the 37 as if I need one. 11 Quote

Young Ed Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 We've been cruising Saturday nights. Someone caught this pic last one. And this one a few weeks before. Most Saturdays I've been going with the neighbor and trading driving duties. 10 Quote

Polsonator2 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I have been cruising mine at each monthly cruise they are doing in Downtown Enumclaw, WA. Hundreds of cars and people show up to watch everyone cruise down the main street through town. Here's some pics some bystanders took of me. I have also put on 2,500 miles on her since my rebuild a couple months ago. Edited July 11, 2020 by Polsonator2 8 Quote
oldodge41 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 We, my wife and I, tend to do mostly "Riding around in my automobile..............With no particular place to go." I am not very artistic so I don't take enough pictures. Yesterday I took this one as it sat in the driveway before we left for a "ride" so I could upload it here. Only the second picture this year. We drove around Prince Gallitzin State Park and took the long way home yesterday. Probably a 50 mile jaunt with a lot of picturesque scenery, and I didn't stop to take pics anywhere. Doh! There was a thread on here once about your car in front of..... I really enjoyed it, because it gave me a reason to take pictures. I love looking at pictures of the old cars, running, under construction, sitting, whatever condition, and I really miss Bob Drown's pictures of his and Cooper's adventures with his old Plymouth. May he rest in peace. 6 Quote

rtferguson39 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 There's my '49 Wayfarer after her first public drive. She was part of my old neighborhood's July 4th parade. It's been a tradition since the neighborhood was founded in 1954. I finished a full brake overhaul the night before just to be a part of the parade. It was rather hysterical to me to hear spectators on the street easily identify my friends '66 Ford wagon and '53 Olds, and then here comes my Dodge... I heard this often, "That's an old......................Dodge!" as if folks were happy they could at least identify some badging on the car as it rolled by. It was a great cruise. 3 Quote
RobertKB Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Stopped for a cool one in the shade. Trunk lid is up as the trunk floor makes an excellent lawn chair. Edited July 15, 2020 by RobertKB 7 Quote

keithb7 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Tonight I headed out to a local cruize-in car meet. All types of cars. Hot-rods, muscle, tuners, vintage, classics. Everyone is welcome. It's a weekly unorganized gathering in a local parking lot. I took my '38 Plymouth out. It was the my first sort of semi-formal gathering with my '38 among other car enthusiasts. It was a fun gathering. Lots of folks approached to talk about, learn about and see my '38. It was great to hear people's stories and I was also able share some history of my old car. I thought about taking a photo but got I distracted with questions from people. Stayed longer than I thought I would as I was having a good time chatting with friendly folks. Even got to use the headlights on the way home. Was a great night. I will attend again next week and report back with a few photos. Pretty sure I was the only pre muscle-car Mopar there. I asked everyone who showed interest if they knew of any other 37-38 Mopars here in town. Nobody was able to confirm, as they could not recall seeing any. Edited July 16, 2020 by keithb7 3 Quote

lepic56 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 Grand-Daughter graduation day ,, covid style, not much fanfare and party, at least the Dodge made it better a little bit LOL 7 1 Quote
40plyrod Posted July 19, 2020 Report Posted July 19, 2020 Graduation pictures here too. I didn't think there would be much going on this year so I only insured the Plymouth for the day on my daughter and her date's prom (such as it was). Sure felt good to be out in the Plymouth. I took the longer way back home.? 5 Quote
49D-24BusCpe Posted July 19, 2020 Report Posted July 19, 2020 It was 98 this morning, and we were about to get on the 'Mother Road'. See the Historic US-66 sign ahead! 3 Quote
keithb7 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Posted July 19, 2020 I washed my Windsor today and drove it to town and back. The weather was stellar today. It was quite an enjoyable drive. 3 Quote

Sorry cannot see the sign even when enlarged, but I believe we will take your word for it! Looks like a Bad place to break down? Carry spares and tools? Lots of water? DJ 2 Quote
busycoupe Posted August 13, 2020 Report Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Tonight the senior center in the neighboring town held an antique car "rally". They usually host a small unjudged car show but this year because of covid the decided to hold a rally, more like a parade. about 60 cars showed up and were led through the town by an antique fire truck. Lots of people lined the route, it was a fun time for all. There were a few mopars, my 48 Dodge coupe, a 40 Plymouth, 50 Desoto. There was also a 57 Dodge and a 70 Baracuda, but I did not get photos of them. Edited August 13, 2020 by busycoupe 1 Quote
keithb7 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I was out looking for old Mopar guys last night...Hard to find. Only seem to see them when I look in the mirror. Edited August 30, 2020 by keithb7 2 Quote
Pete Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 Hi Keith, Just curious -- what camera did you use for this video, and how did you mount it? Pete Quote
