Toolin' down the PA TurnpikeQuick pit stopThe Valley Forge exit, where Faulkner's Torqueflite gave out back in 2006. I fared better this time!Matthew returned later in the day, for the traditional doggie shot. Welcome "Exner", a 12-week-old Aussie Doodle!Come Tuesday, Matthew was off. Until next year!
Only a single day's visit to Carlisle this year, and the traditional overnight stay in the Official '59 Plymouth Motel (TM) - the Mechanicsburg Motel 6.
I should have known who Lou Costabile is, but I didn't before he introduced himself, and had me drive around in Faulkner for some pix and flix! He promises to let me know when Faulkner will appear on My Car Story with Lou Costabile. Watch this space!
Almost forgot. This one's personal; the old man had a '56 Dodge Suburban, although in two-tone green. I learned to drive in it. Same deal, 230 flathead with Powerflite.
The only other '59 Plymouths at the show were those belonging to Earl Hess - the crowd-pleasing custom Sport Fury, and the gorgeous Sport Fury convertible.
Matthew left for Carlisle on Wednesday, and I went solo on Saturday, the first time ever in Faulkner. I needn't have worried - he ran like a champ the whole way.
With Matthew's arrival, work began in earnest on the installation of the SMS door panels I had recently received - along with a pair of ash trays I had acquired from eBay.
