Hello there from Austin, TX.....

Greetings fellow mtr. heads! My name is Leif Barker residing in Austin, TX… Recently discovered and made arrangements to aquire my very first '59 Plymouth, a wagon! I’m looking forward to bringing it back to glory in the coming year (or years..LOL)…It’s nice to discover this forum to share gains and pains, and I look forward to being a productive contributor…Cheers!

Hi Leif,

Welcome to the forum! We are looking forward to your contributions :sunglasses: Please post pictures of your Suburban when it arrives in your garage.
Too bad Austin is just a bit too far away for our trip through Arizona and Nevada next month.

Leif, Welcome to the site! There are a lot of knowledgable people that you can bounce questions off of for help in gettting your Wagon up to speed.

Ron, you will change planes in Denver, Right??? Just hoping… :smiley:

Sorry I am going to miss you all, we will change planes in Washington DC (IAD) both ways. I tried a stop in Denver but since there are no direct flights from the Netherlands and/or Belgium it would mean an extra stop and a price that was way too high (about $400 pp extra). maybe next july @Carlisle?

Hi All,

Welcome aboard Leif. Are you from Texas originally? You will find several wagon owners on this site that can answer your wagon-only questions, and the rest of us can help with the 59 Plymouth questions and parts! I spent a week in Austin in 2000 on business and loved the architecture, River Walk, and even the Alamo. I was a little bummed that I could not take a bus tour since I am a wheelchair user and there were no accessible buses at the time. I did however tour the River Walk by tour boat and even got a pigeon Sh&% shampoo. I toured downtown and had dinner at the Brown Derby (?). All around nice town!

Ron, I suppose you know I am about an hour away from the DC airports, but that is in weekend only traffic! I don’t expect any visits, but I do expect a call when you are nearby in DC. Keep your fingers crossed that my health allows me to visit you guys in Carlisle this year. Have a great trip.

Leif - please post pictures - we love all pictures!

Just got my new computer back on line, so I send you Welcome from the Pacific Northwest,(WA, specifically)

Welcome from the Southern Tier of NY where it makes absolutely no sense to own a convertible!
