Grandadeo Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Hi all, Grandadeo here. I'm the new guy on the block. My old friend Normspeed intoduced me to the site some time ago and I finally got around to registering. I have a stock '53 Belvedere 2 door hardtop that some of you may remember Norm listing for me on the site classified section a year or so back. Although I never really tried hard to sell it no one ever showed any interest in it so I guess It's here to stay. Norm and I go back about 38 + years when we worked together in Fort Lauderdale. He may have moved to the left coast but he couldn't shake me. We have spent every Father's Day weekend for the last 16 years at the LA Roadsters Show in Pomona. I also have a '32 Ford roadster that I've driven out there a few times for that show. Back to the Plymouth. It came from Texas 4 or 5 years ago. Nice car that needed a little tinkering. Bought it for my wife I thought, now it looks like my 30 year old son has claimed it, at least for a while. I guess it's going to be the father/son car adventure we never had when he was younger and wanted to mess with 4-wheel drive trucks. We plan to keep it pretty much stock. Maybe lower it a little and add some spinner hubcaps. Would also like to hop up the 6 similar to Norm's. Well I think I've rambled on enough. Looking forward to keeping my ears open and learning alot from ya'll. Nice to be here, finally. Lee Bearror Jensen Beach, Florida Quote

Normspeed Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Glad to see Grandadeo on the member list. My best friend for all those years. Who woulda guessed? Great family too. Back in the early 70's he and I drove twin 69 Rambler Rebel SSTs, with custom paint schemes. The cars were painted to match the color of his hair. We were the terror of Ft. Lauderdale. I have a photo somewhere... Quote

RobertKB Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Welcome to the forum. Nice to see another '53/54 Plymouth owner. There are several of us. I, and I'm sure others, would love to see some pictures of your car. Any possibility? Quote
Guest rockabillybassman Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Welcome. Maybe you can tell us how your stocker performs against Normspeed's? Not racing as such, but just general performance.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Hi and welcome. Yeah.....sometimes those 54 Plyms are neat (espec the 2 dr hardtop) but not hot sellers. But.....then.....you now have a family project to work on. At least your car looks good and runs. Not getting many bites on this one since not running and has lots of patina. Quote
Grandadeo Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks all for the warm welcome. No one even held the fact that Normspeed sent me against me. What can I say about a guy that would fly cross country just to adjust my emergency brake. Now that's a friend. The company that I retired from called me back to work for a month or so, started today. The bad news is it will cut into my time to work on the Plymouth and the bottomless honeydo job jar. The goods news is I'll be able to pay for that plane ticket to Norms next month and maybe have some $$$ left over for MOPAR parts. Still looking for that '53 windshield. Certainly someone knows of a parts car out there with a good one. Lee Quote
Grandadeo Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Posted May 8, 2008 Not sure what I'm doing but trying to attach a picture of my '53 Belvedere. We'll see what happens. Lee Quote
Normspeed Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 That worked. You can start with a bigger pic, up to 100 kb, and load it the same way, and then if you click on the thumbnail the pic will enlarge. Quote
