I received this note and pictures from Bernie Brouillet last week, and I’m only now getting around to posting them. Sorry Bernie!

> Seen at MoPar Day at Lebanon Valley Dragway in upstate New York, was this 1959 Plymouth Suburban 4-door station wagon, it’s for sale for $13,000 (maybe the price for the mag wheels factors in here) and while I didn’t speak to the owner, a friend of mine knows him so we could make contact.
> 
> Car has a V-8, plenty of surface rust but no obvious rust through - interior was fairly good but probably it’s newer seat covers.

> Think it’s been about 41 years since I’ve seen another 59 Plymouth in person at the drags (mine.)

> A fun tidbit of the day is that the winning car in the “Electronics” eliminator (he uses a transbrake and delay box, if those terms mean anything to you) was a 1971 Roadrunner that I raced against once at Epping NH back in 1976. He beat me in the final of a race there when my Sport Fury stumbled at the top of first gear (point bounce?) His son now drives the car, but the day, Gilbert Gay - 80+ years old now - comes to the track with son Greg now and then so we reminisce. He says he doesn’t really remember my car from back then but that’s fine considering the circumstances.

> Was a beautiful day weather-wise, and on the way home automotive oddities completed the day. First we spotted something funny up ahead, my friend Bob thought he saw a 1960’s Barracuda about 400 feet in front of us, but I was sure it wasn’t one of them (at that distance I can hardly see anything these days) and once we caught him it turned out to be a Rambler Marlin. Not common for sure. A few miles later, coming towards us was something old, really old holding back a line of traffic - as it “whooshed”" by I recognized the unmistakable styling of a Stanley Steamer, seemingly unrestored a having a rather rusty colored patina.
