Just Had To Do It

RC Drown · July 31, 2010, 09:20:26 AM

I have been wanting to get a photo of Cooper with his tie on the fender of the Plymouth, finally did so yesterday. He wasn't sure he wanted to be there, but he waited so that I could take the photo. He was very pleased to get back on the ground :)

RC Drown · July 28, 2010, 04:51:46 PM

Pat and Seb,

thanks for the comments, hope you both are able to get some miles on your Plymouths

Sebastiano · July 28, 2010, 03:58:17 PM

Nice,
Bob,
I need to drive the next Sunday, It will be fantastic!
Here it wil be not as in your country with nice landscape ... here too many cars, too many houses...
but to see the car near the flowers... or near the sea ...

Hey Bob,

Cool photos; thanks for reminding me that I need to put some miles on my '36. Probably early in the morning, before it gets too hot.

Yesterday Cooper, My wife and I went for a ride along the back roads, had a good time and nice ride, here are a few photos, nothing spectacular, but I wanted to share

Sebastiano · July 14, 2010, 11:08:23 AM

the thought is:
the Plymouth all around the world

RC Drown · July 14, 2010, 09:02:28 AM

Seb, Keep the photos coming, good to see the old cars with the backdrops of other countries

Sebastiano · July 09, 2010, 10:51:38 AM

I like your photosl so I try to do a nice too.
In the background is the Volcan called Mount Etna

RC Drown · July 09, 2010, 10:39:28 AM

Seb.

Thanks for posting your photos, the cell phone did a great job.

What is the mountain in the background?

Thanks and have a good day,
Bob

Sebastiano · July 09, 2010, 10:13:37 AM

I was out just to wash the car....

Cooper and I were at it again yesterday,

The antiqued one I took the other day in front of the old hardware store in Grahamsville, one of the oldest buildings in town.

Hope everyone enjoys as much as Cooper and I do sharing them,
Bob

Bob-

We have a tire swing in our front yard, for the grandkids. It's a 6.00x16 incher that came off the '36.

Regards,
Pat O'Connor

RC Drown · June 04, 2010, 02:51:16 PM

Cooper and I were out and about this morning in the old Plymouth, just wanted to share portions of our ride. I shifted into second gear and slowed down to take the one of the old tire swing, as I didn't want to stop in front of their house. Lots of good memories as a child with a swing like that. When we were on an old abandoned dirt road, I stopped to cross the stream to take two photos, boy were the mosquitoes terrible, I think that is why those two photos may be somewhat blurry.

Hope everyone is having as good day as Cooper and I with our old Plymouth,
Bob

RC Drown · May 23, 2010, 11:06:29 AM

My wife, Cooper and I were out and about in the Plymouth yesterday afternoon. Here are a few photos that I took. We were up high, but the camera really doesn't do the views off in the distance justice

Go Fleiter · May 13, 2010, 02:50:00 AM

having our house?s rebuilding work is done, but now, finally having Plymouth time, weather here too is bad: far too cold and everyday it is raining.

We go south to Tuscany / Italy by plane for 10 days, but there too it is far too cold..
Whishing better days to all of us Plymouth drivers!
Greetings! Go

RC Drown · May 12, 2010, 08:31:18 PM

Pat, we have had our share of rain and cold temps this month. In fact today we had some snow showers and 6/10ths of an inch of rain. Temp never got out of the 40's. Yesterday when Cooper and I were out and about in the Plymouth, was really the nicest day since a week ago today.

36 Ply · May 12, 2010, 08:20:11 PM

Bob-

Once again, you & Cooper are havin' too much fun. I hope to do the same with my '36 if it ever stops raining here.

Regards,
Pat O'Connor

RC Drown · May 12, 2010, 06:02:48 PM

Here are some more photos that I have taken this past week or so

Does this one look like it could be the '40's

Pat, not a problem, hope your email system gets up and working soon

not with the magnetic sticker on the butt...

Go Fleiter · April 20, 2010, 03:46:31 AM

Thanks, I love these pics! Mine have yet to be shot, as we -finally having nice weather- are still rebuilding 2 baths and having new floors etc. in our house since 9 weeks. Ply has to wait one more week.

RC Drown · April 18, 2010, 02:40:24 PM

Thanks so much for taking me for a ride, great photos, I throughly did enjoy them. Great scenery also. The Plymouth sure looks great.

gillette · April 18, 2010, 02:29:02 PM

I hope it's okay to add a few more pics to Bob's post. GA

2195   Google Fort Fisher

2198   Ready to head back home

2200   The sun was well hidden by now, but temps still in the mid to upper 60?s. Perfect couple of hours in the old Plymouth!

gillette · April 18, 2010, 02:22:40 PM

Okay, Bob, I'll take you up on your offer! After all, they're made to drive, and I love that you not only drive yours, but share your adventures. Today I took my "new" coupe out for a little trip to the beach, about 30 miles round trip. Having grown up on Cape Cod, the proximity to the salt water, here, makes this a sweet place to have "settled."

This will have to be in a couple of posts. This is the first batch,

2165   Hop in. No Cooper here, but room for you to ride.

2167   Down NC 421 toward the beach

2168   Up the bridge over the Inland Waterway

2172   Lots of scrub oak and pine here on the way out to the end of the peninsula

RC Drown · April 16, 2010, 08:49:15 AM

Cooper and I were out with the old Plymouth again yesteday, here are some photos that I took, these old cars where made to drive and by gosh, that is what I do, plus take photos:):)

Sure do wish that other members would share their outings in their Plymouths like I do.

Hope everyone has a good day and upcoming weekend,
Bob

RC Drown · April 09, 2010, 04:46:21 PM

Cooper and I were out in the old Plymouth yesterday since it was a beautiful day here in the Catskills of New York, temp was near 80 degrees. I antiqued it as I like to think of the old Plymouth as my "time machine"

RC Drown · December 05, 2009, 06:51:18 AM

Here I go again. Yesterday Cooper and I fired up the old Plymouth, we were riding around when we drove by the town hall in Grahamsville, we saw tha display of Christmas trees so we turned around and took these photos. Snow is in the forecast for today, so we took advantage of the decent day yesterday to put just over 30 miles on the old car

RC Drown · November 13, 2009, 03:03:11 PM

The Fulton Sunvisor was one of my first purchases after I got the Plymouth, I later sold that one, then bought another one, after I realized I shouldn't have sold the first one. My Uncle John had a 1951 GMC pickup when I was growing up, he had an outside visor on the truck. Always liked the looks of them and said if I ever own an old car, I will have one, well, needless to say I do:):)

I was able to get both Fulton sunvisors from Moores in Rapid City,SD.

My son Shane has a fiberglass one on his '51 Chevy 4dr

36 Ply · November 13, 2009, 02:29:30 PM

Hey Bob,

The view through your windshield almost could have been my former '47; it also had the metal sun visor.

Regards,
Pat O'Connor

RC Drown · November 13, 2009, 01:03:19 PM

Not a bad day here, decided that Cooper and I would fire up the Plymouth and take advantage of the weather. I was up in an old hay field to take these photos.

RC Drown · October 30, 2009, 02:41:44 PM

It is a dark, dearly day here in the Catskills, I have the laundry just about finished, the dishes are done, so I have been spending time right here at the computer, had to share this photo from earlier in the summer

RC Drown · October 05, 2009, 08:55:10 AM

Here is a photo that I took yesterday afternoon at approx the same place I took a photo on Aug 20, you can see how much the leaves have turned. According to the radio, we are about 70 percent to peak

RC Drown · September 23, 2009, 03:10:42 PM

This morning the radio said thunder storms for today, so I decided that Cooper and I ought to put some miles on the Old Plymouth before the rain arrives. So far no rain and plenty of miles on the Plymouth today, I have driven the old girl 1810 miles so far this season, the most in the 21 years that I have had the car. Last year was 1728 miles driven, which prior to this year was the record.

Here are a couple of photos of the Plymouth and Cooper looking out the window

Go Fleiter · September 17, 2009, 12:39:45 AM

All the trees are still green! What a beautiful place! Thank You for the fotos!
Greetings! Go

RC Drown · September 16, 2009, 08:37:25 AM

Cooper and I were out with the Plymouth again yesterday, here are a couple of photos.
With its outing yesterday, the old girl now has over 1700 miles driven for this season:)

RC Drown · August 20, 2009, 11:22:41 AM

Since my wife went to get groceries this morning, not to mention that thunderstorms are forcasted for later today, I fired up the old Plymouth and Cooper and I went for a ride up in the mountains. Just wanted to share. A few miles farther down that road it becomes much narrower and it is tarred and chipped, used second gear coming down. Just a nice ride and a nice moring to do so.

Hope everyone is having a good day, I know that Cooper and I are:) :)

RC Drown · August 07, 2009, 04:42:37 PM

Our local fair put on by the Neversink Ag Society is having its 130 annual event starting August 14th at the historic Grahamsville,NY fairgrounds. I go down there most every day to walk with our dog Cooper. This afternoon we went down in the Plymouth and I couldn't resist taking this photo:):)

RC Drown · July 25, 2009, 05:39:24 PM

Bill,

the can isn't beans, it is Sauerkraut, I wasn't able to read the label on the bottle, even by enlarging the photo, nor was I able to read what the container was that is to the right of the sauerkraut

RC Drown · July 25, 2009, 05:27:03 PM

Bill,

I would say the beer is maybe Ballentine, but not sure, I think the can is a can of Gramma Brown's baked beans

Not real sure, but that is my thoughts

Bill Davis · July 25, 2009, 04:22:49 PM

Bob,

Thanks for posting the photos. Very nice.

It appears that our digital photos (I am assuming that you were using a
digital camera) -- or maybe I should say "our 'modern' photos" --
are a bit too crisp and have too much contrast. I do not know how
you overcome that to make a new photo look older.

Also, in the older black and white photo, I see the Heinz ketchup,
but what is in the round box just to the right of the ketchup?
And, what brand of beer is the fellow holding? Heineken?

RC Drown · July 18, 2009, 08:24:44 PM

Being that we had a rain free day here in the Catskiils today, My wife and I, along with our dog, Cooper went for a nice ride in the Plymouth. Here are a few photos that I would like to share with everyone, if you look closely and to the left of the front of the Plymouth as I am driving down the road, you will see a deer that was grazing by the roadside
