That time of year again! Ron and Matthew Keij made the trek to Philly from the Netherlands, and this time we were joined by Will Walker. And for the first time, we took two cars to Carlisle - Faulkner was joined by Valerie, my new (to me) 1963 Valiant V200 station wagon.
There was only one other '59 Plymouth on the Showfield this year - Faulkner was joined by Josh Leffell’s super-clean Belvedere.
More Forward Look vehicles at the show.

In years gone by, Curt Lambdin had brought his own '59 Savoy to Carlisle. Not this year, but Curt made the trip this summer to finally meet up with Jim Rawa, whose automotive engineering skills and craftmanship he has long admired.
There was another '59 Plymouth at Carlisle - a wagon, for sale in the Car Corral. Will Walker wanted it badly - even had a trailer lined up to bring it back his way in California - but the seller would not budge from his ridiculous price. Too bad for Will, and for the seller - he ended up dragging it back home from whence it came. One wonders if it will end up selling for less than what Will had offered…
All good things must come to an end - and so we head home.
