1949P17BC Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Has anyone spoken with or heard from the owner of PLyDo. I was at our car show on Friday Night and someone mentioned he had called for some parts had a hard time reaching anyone and then when he did, they mentioned he had gotten ill and passed away?? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 I was at this place in Delbarton WV years back..he had a huge inventory..am sure there is pretty much a bunch of it left...it was a one man show..probably will be sold off in one lot... Quote
thedahmer Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 If he did die it must have been within the last month or so, There is no telling what he had in the "back room"---- Quote
Roadkingcoupe Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Tom Bryant from Plydo....did some horse trading with him. Supplied disc brake conversions and had a lot of parts and info. I really dont want to believe that this is true. Our community is too small to lose another MoPaR afficiando. Tell the people you care for that you love them....life is short....I have nothing more to say. Quote
plymouthdoctor Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Tom Bryant did indeed pass away and I am told that those involved with his business (his wife and others) intend to keep it going. Be patient with them as they learn how to function without their leader. Quote
falconvan Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry to hear that, I bought from him a few times and he was really helpful. Hopefully his family is doing OK. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Wow..I have met the guy a few times..was at Charlotte show the Friday morning after..never heard any news to the fact.. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Got my poly gas tank from him back in the late 90's. Drove by the place about the mid 90's. Quote
Heavy Flat Head Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry to hear another mopar nut moves on. Ed. Quote
thedahmer Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 Well, as a car guy-- it said he went @ Lowes motor speedway-- pretty good place to go from--still sad, he wsa only 57--- Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 I am very sorry to hear this news. Tom was a great guy. I drove 1,000 miles to and from his place when I first started to build my 1940 Plymouth. He showed me around and then let me see his prized mopars. The seat I have in my car came from his yard. He let me trade him for some weather stripping rubber. I can still remember going over those railroad ties he had as a bridge. He was a very nice guy who did not know me from adam. I would call him from time to time to find out how to do cerain things on the Plymouth. The hobby will miss him greatly, may his family find peace in knowing he served so many people and gave so much of his self. Quote
Frank Blackstone Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 Rodney I am glad you could add personal information you had about Tom which I didn't know about him. I only knew him from his catalog and maybe one telephone conversation. I'm glad you made the effort to meet him and have car parts from his business. Quote
