A most recent pic, and the story...Share your old Mopar!

[keithb7]

@Pete I used a GoPro camera. There are many models that are exponentially more expensive as they are released and improved.  This particular model I used on the video is was called a Hero 3. Can be found used for reasonable prices. As you can see, the video quality is pretty darn good. I used a suction cup mount. I just stuck it to a couple of different places on my car. This link here gives you some ideas on mounts: https://clicklikethis.com/gopro-car-mounts/

Car show today Saturday, at Lewis Park in Minoa NY OneidaLake Region AACA and CNY Orphan Cars 11 till 3 or so, cruise in format no judging or trophies.

[Plymouthy Adams]

Enjoy the show....Charlotte just canceled the fall event that was to make up for the spring event cancelled earlier.  Seems Georgia is going to try and pick up the slack with a new swap meet event, first 3 day for these folks.   Last I heard our show was still on schedule for fall but it was cancelled this spring.  Been a dry season for events for sure.  Doubt you see any unique Brit cars...pop a pic if  you do..

My wife and I stopped at Elliot's Park along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River near Clearfield, PA for lunch today. Had Long John Silvers takeout. Just out for a ride with no particular place to go.

Hi all,

This past weekend I took the 1939 Plymouth out for a drive. It was a beautiful day. I crossed over the Connecticut River to the New Hampshire side and drove North into the White Mountains. Turned out to be about a 4 hour drive on 2 land highways. Lots of great sights and car performed wonderfully. I saw two different Avantis about half an hour a part. Perhaps they had a club get together somewhere?

 

Here are some pictures I took during the ride.

Sunday ride with my family (my wife and daughter on the caddy ) mon son and me on the dodge '41 coupe 3w 

[Hamilton]

Not much of a pic but here are my two.  The Plymouth (SD) Club Coupe has just over 39K original miles and has been on the lift since September (I travel a lot) but is nearly buttoned up and ready to get out for a test run.  The Dodge has just over 100K on the clock and is a recently-added four-door stablemate that I've taken around the block only once so far.  I have the garage space, so if I can convince the War Department, these will be joined over the next few years  by one each `49 Desoto and `49 Chrysler.

Several years ago I was cruising around central Montana, I came upon a '39 Plym conv cpe sitting in a field. I inquired about the car, the farmer that owned the car asked me why I wanted the Plym, I told him I would like to rebuild it and get it back on the road,

The farmer gave me the car. Wm.

I worked on the 39 for 16 years, spending a boat load of money on the car. Was it worth it?, I'd say so. Wm

Looks pretty special. Did you take it back and show the farmer?

New "old school' wheels for Booger and radial highway tires. goes down the road so much nicer

[keithb7]

Each Wed night the regulars show up at a local parking lot.  Quite civilized there too. No stunt drivers or show-offs. The police and local businesses leave us be. Its a good time. 
 

My spot tonight was tucked between some performance cars. I was the odd-duck there again. No, I’m not seeing any other Mopars from about ‘64 back. Just my old Ply. No complaints. Rare is cool with me. 
 

Tonight I passed 800 miles on my 38 Plymouth’s odometer for 2020 cruising. i’d sure like to 1,000. I will aim to.

Seats are done, added Milton 476 tire valves, red paint to spice up the wheels. No car shows, but there is a cruse in every Fri 30 miles away.

This past Sunday I stopped at a couple of cemeteries on the way home from church and visited relatives. It was a nice setting and opportunity to photograph my '49. 

 

The odometer rolled past 50,000 a couple of weeks ago and I've driven over 1600 miles since the end of May - a little over 100 miles every Sunday. While the car does seem to consume oil with every trip I am diligent about checking and filling as needed. It drives very well and has not let me down yet so I will continue treating it with care and respect. 

 

I get a fair amount of waves and thumbs ups, but not as many as one would think (Either drivers are too old, too young, or too annoyed that I'm out not always driving well past the posted speed limit) - I did have someone shout at me from a walking trail so I just smiled, waved, and kept on driving. 

 

Fun to see what everyone is up to! Thanks, Keith for fostering community here!
