Bob Drowns Bulletin Artical

[RC Drown]

I have one seat belt in the middle front for my Granddaughter when she goes for a ride as she is five years old, other than that none for the driver or passenger side by the door.

Go, can't wait to see photos of your trip.

I have attached a photo of my co-pilot Cooper

thanks again everyone for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated for sure,
Bob

my copy came in yesterday- the January/February issue! No joke! From one Post Office in Sweden.
When my May copy will arrive, Bob, You get my comment!

Well, maybe I can pick it up in Sweden personally, going there in 11 days:
We have scheduled a Plymouth holiday starting with a ride
260 mls / 4:30 hours to Hamburg.
     3 days to visit the city plus a tour to old harbor and railroad artifacts. Than
120 mls/ 3:30 hours (only secondary lanes) to my beloved Island of Sylt -
   we have to take a train shuttle for the Plymouth.
   After a week we take a ferry from List/Sylt to the danish Island of Romoe,
   than crossing a dam to the mainland- we proceed secondary lanes for
235 mls / 6:50 hours (no highways again) for Viken / Sweden, the Helsingborg ferry included.
   to visit my Sister?s family and home. After a few days we return
550 mls / 10 hours to D?sseldorf.
   The car performs perfectly- and is good for Autobahn speeds too with it?s overdrive.
     Will put this adventure here...
   Greetings from D?sseldorf

 Congratulation on keeping the memories.I hope this question fits in, those of you who drive your cars on regular basis, do you have seatbelts installed?

Here is a photo taken around 1991 or '92, as you can see I have it on the road, I drove the Plymouth for two seasons looking like this, then my son painted it with Rustoleum Teal as that is what I could afford. It was basically his first paint job and over the course of twenty some odd years It has worn well even with no clear coat.  I won't repaint it in my life time as I have grown to love the Patina of the Teal color and the fact that it was my son's first paint job as I mentioned.  I do my best to keep her presentable, but my main concern is her being safe and dependable.  Although I don't go on long distance drives, I do drive her to the tune of approx. 2,500 miles each year

Thanks to both of you for the nice comments, they are greatly appreciated,

You have the right idea, drive and enjoy. I have a dilemma I want the shiny car but don't want to pay the shiny car price.  I am a contrary old man so when I am asked why I don't enter shows I tell them I don't need their validation. I don't have an old Plymouth car yet, still trying to convince I need one. I do have 1960 MGA roadster that I have had for 49 years and 1954 modified Chevy 3100 truck. I have wanted a 1934 2dr Sedan for years and life interfered, getting a son through 2 degrees and a good start on life.

My Plymouth Bulletin came yesterday. I was suprised to see an article written by Bob Drown. WE all know him from all the pictures he sends into the club.
I have to agree with Bob, your Plymouth's were made to be driven. I own a 55 Plymouth Belvedere. She runs great! It could use a new paint job since the paint on it is now cracking. Unfortunately, the cost to get a decent paint job is about what the car is worth. I am happy driving my Plymouth the way it is. It still turns heads and brings back a lot of memories for people that used to own these types of cars.
In Bob's case it is also theraputic for him with his health problems. A way to escape and enjoy life. Thanks for the article Bob.
