Rumor has it that the Keijs will soon be making room in their garage for another car :smiley:

2

ā€œTell me more, Tell me more!!!ā€ The suspense is killing meā€¦

Roger or the Keijā€™s give up the info on the latest edition to the Dutch heard! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, if the car has to go, Roger, Iā€™m glad itā€™s staying in the family :sunglasses: Now, to get it to the East Coast for shipment; hmmā€¦

Does this mean the Keijā€™s will have three '59ā€™s? Or, is the ā€œWork In Progressā€ going to go?

Work??? :unamused: Progress??? :laughing:


Ok guys it is time to congratulate Matthew and me as we bought Rogerā€™s car :sunglasses: I do feel sad that he has to sell his baby but I am glad it will be coming our way!
And no it wonā€™t be heading East Coast (sorry Frank) but it has to go to Buffalo Tx where my shipper lives. He will take care of transport but if anybody has a good way to get the car from Wa. to Tx please let me know.

I will ask around for recommendations.
Hemmings.com has many ads about enclosed transporters.
As a start, a brief search online got me a quote of $1400 for enclosed ($1000 for open) from National Transport.

6

I could make the trip to Rogerā€™s Casa and pick up his Convert, transport it to Colorado and then store it in Denver. (close to my house, of course) And then when the Keijā€™s come to visit Colorado again, I will make it available for them to use as they cruise around the States.

The car should remain in the semi-arid desert region storage where I live to keep itā€™s present state of preservation intact.I am only thinking of the car as anyone would do. (LOL)

Plus it is the only way I can get Matthew here to help me wire my convert!!! :unamused:

Lets figure out how to get it to Texas and off to the Dutch country quickly. Pam and I will then have a car to drive when we mooch off of the Keijā€™s next year!

Congrats to the Keijā€™s! Now lets find Roger another 59 Plymouth to play with.

John Q.

Thanks John, but until I can get resettled and re-employed, I will have to be satisfied with my Sport Fury promo model, and memories of some memorable trips taken in the cvt.

8

Iā€™m glad to hear that Rogerā€™s car is going to a good home.

ā€”John

It sure is going to a good home, we canā€™t wait for it to arrive.
Hope the weather will be good but we will see. Cleaning, polishing and waxing it will be done offcourse!
It is going to be a number 1 car over here.

We have to see what is going to happen with Fury. It is probably going to be used for parts as the rules changed a couple weeks ago. :frowning:
If you restore a car and you want a plate for it you need the old papers of the car, and we donā€™t have papers with the car.

John,

Thank you so much for the congratulations and for your very generous offer to store the car for us!!! Unfortunately we canā€™t accept as we already arranged transport to the Netherlands, but we will make sure that the car is ready for you and Pamela whenever you decide to come over of course. And you can also bring the kids as we do have plenty of cars to drive the whole family around :sunglasses:

Chances of getting Matthew to Denver before 2012 are almost non existent now, he will be within 5 feet of the convertible for the first year I guess. He is already making room in the garage and he now has enough space for a king bed that only will be used for the couple of times he wonā€™t be falling asleep in the car :laughing:

11

Ron, Tell Matthew I will buy him that Philly Cheesesteak I promised him at Carlisle. That should entice him a little.. :unamused:

After driving in (sitting in the passenger seat only) Earlā€™s SF Convert he loaned us at Carlisle while Matthew drove, I knew he was a drop top kinda guy! Boy, what a death grip he had on the keys to that convert. At least he allowed me to help him put up and down the top with him. LOL

Glad he (and you) were able to scarf up Rogerā€™s Gem of a Convert.

I hope to be able to take Pam over to Ireland and England next year for our 25th anniversary. If so then we will be visiting you guys and your 59ā€™s in the Netherlands.

John Q.

12

Youā€™ve got a good chance with a Philly Cheesesteak John, now that he has to pay his share for the convertible itā€™ll be water and bread for the next two years for him :laughing:

So there is no chance for me to ever drive the convertible here I guess, maybe I should consider taken you up on your offer for a storage in Colorado. At least I will get to drive it when I am in Denver then :sunglasses:

We are already looking forward to it! The room will be occupied late May though, our friend from Idaho Springs will be coming over to visit us. But no big deal, we will make room for Pam and you and I can join Matthew in the garage, if you behave you might even be allowed to sleep in the convertible :laughing:

13

Bread and water for Mathew eh? But only for two years? Thatā€™s a deal! Now it is work work work for Matthew to pay his share of the Convert. Nothing like a dream car to get one focused on a work career and making some Euroā€™s! :laughing:

I will have to make sure when Pam and I get over to Europe that you and Marjo are not here in the States. I also better meet your Idaho Springs friends someday if we will be rotating in and out of your guest rooms.

Didnt want to hijack your For Slae thread, Mathew. You posted a pic of a Fury Geroge Dalinis created in the early 1990ā€™s, I think. He sold it-I donā€™t know where it is now.
You are wise to be making room for the new arrival. The cvt. trunk is nearlyfull of stuff that I am including with the car.

15

Rog, i donā€™t know anything about that Fury Cvt. Wish i did but i only knew there was a pic of it.

I really canā€™t wait for it to arrive. Too bad the weather sucks over here in the last few months of the year.
Will i be suprised of what is in the trunk? I heard some thing from my dad

16

Hi Matthew, I think you saw everything I had collected for this car.
I am adding some tools to make maintenance easier.

Regarding that Fury convertible, George Dalinis built the car from bits and pieces. He had to sell itwhen his eyesight failed. There was a write-up in some magazine years ago, but I canā€™t find my copy. Dan M., Steve Storey, maybe Tom Fox can tell you more. You can also use 59SF Search, and Google to learn more.

17

The George Dalinis ā€œImpossible Convertibleā€ story is in ā€œThe Plymouth Bulletinā€ No. 199 dtd March-April, 1993.

18

Hey Ron and Matthew,
Call the car transporter and get him over here! The bank has received the funds, and the trunk is loaded with everything '59! :slight_smile:

19

My dad will probably contact him in about, let me think. A minute :laughing:

20

Well it took me more a little than a minute since I was enjoying Marjoā€™s cooking :mrgreen: But I am glad this part of the deal is done and that you are a rich man now, please try to stay rich or even better get richer :exclamation: We should have waited a while though, it seems that the US$ is free falling and by waiting 4 days
we would have saved more than ā‚¬ 500 :cry: But who cares, we will enjoy the cheap dollar on our trip to Florida soon :sunglasses:

Ron
