RobertKB Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Out in my ‘51 Dodge D39 business coupe for what could be the last run of 2021. -3C (27F), little bit of wind, and cloudy although you can just make out our star in the first pic. Supposed to get 5-10cm (2-4”) of snow overnight and tomorrow and then a bit cooler for a while. Colder weather doesn’t bother me as I just about got roasted out of the car with the heater fan off! Just don’t like messy roads. If things clear up I hope to be out again before the end of 2021. Edited December 4, 2021 by RobertKB 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I might, I say again might, have the 51 back on the road before the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Nice car - I just took my ‘50 Plymouth Deluxe in for her pre-hibernation oil change and grease job. I’m going to put some Sta-bil in the tank, go for a nice long drive over to Niagara on the Lake on the weekend (if there’s no snow) and then put “Winnie” in the garage for a nice long sleep. (However, if the weather stays nice, we may have to go for another drive.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug&Deb Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I stopped driving the Coronet to work because of the deer but I’ll keep driving on the weekends till they start salting the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Flippen Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Took my Coronet out for a short run yesterday. More of a test drive after ring and valve job. Still trying to dial everything in. Got a little warm. Gotta feeling it needs the timing tweaked a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I had the '41 out the other day. Wanted to turn it around and ended up with a short 10 minute drive. Sorry no picture, but I did get it turned around so I can access it easier in the garage this winter. I may get it out again before all the roads get salted.

keithb7 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Today was the final twist of the knife. 2021 is definitely a wrap for old Mopar cruising for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Turned out to be a beautiful day here in Central Pennsylvania. My wife and I took the '41 out for an hour or so. Here it is getting fueled up as we headed home. Last ride of the year? Maybe/maybe not. Funny story, at an earlier stop today a teenage boy came up and said "Cool car, that must be what, about a 1976?" I said 1941 Dodge, and he said "Was that the first year they even made a Dodge?" He was polite and even told me AutoZone probably won't have parts for it but I could try Google on the internet if I need anything. Made me feel really old!

Worden18 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I wouldn't drive that beauty on sloppy roads either. My car on the other hand rusted out 60 years ago lol. Still clear here, but my brother is enjoying the Meadowbrook yet! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veemoney Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Nice street metal on wheels in this thread. Yes keep those beauties out of the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 My ‘38 becomes a professional model each winter. Posing for the photographer. She never leaves the driveway until the road salt, rocks and sand are gone. Sorta like a Cars Illustrated Driveway Swimsuit Edition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 64 degrees F here today. Great weather for December 16th. Got the old girl out and warmed her up, cycled fluids a bit. Just too nice a day not to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Glad you could make it out!? Since my last post the weather has been snow, cold, windy and miserable. Presently +1F and snowing. It had to happen sometime and the long hibernation has started. I do not like winter!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been unseasonably warm. We had snow one day. About an inch and it didn't last. Enough rain since to clean the few roads that were salted. Not a big fan of winter either, but if it would stay like this run of weather I could get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furylee2 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Cloudy but in the 50’s today. Decided to convert my florescent bulbs in my garage to LED’s. Had to move the 41, so I just had to take it for a cruise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49D-24BusCpe Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 TWO BIG ASS 6-CYLINDER DODGES. My '49 and '99 - 50 years apart! It's 50 degrees out here on Christmas day. I've been using these two, for some Christmas "goodie" deliveries. The Coupe is good for long, lighter items and the Dually is best for the heavier big stuff. Anyhow, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Put me and my gift on your heavier hauler list and the Big Red delivery system....(pause and wonder.... what am I getting this year...!)

49D-24BusCpe Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 It's the last day of the year, and I'm out dropping off libation to a couple of buddies in our Valle Vista complex. Cloudy and 45, and come to think of it, this is the first time I've had the cowl vent closed all year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
