for a Grizzly Bear looking for Your honey sandwich...

If all goes as planned, my neice will take another photo, this time we will include two women and try to get the setting more accurate.  It was just my wife and I the other day when she took that photo

Pretty good rendition Bob, I see the guy, the picnic and the car.  Where are the ladies?

There is a small diner just down the road a few miles from our house, the owner had an old black and white photo that included a 1940 Plymouth in the photo.  I asked the owner if I could bring the photo home to scan, she said yes.

Here is that photo and my rendiditon.  Kinda close, but not really.

Anyway, I am having fun with the old Plymouth and camera, so I just had to share with all of you

Bob-

You and Go are just havin' too much fun with your Plymouths. Now that the rain has slowed down (we got 3.7 inches last week), I hope to have the '36 on the road next week.

Pat O'Connor

Last evening my wife and I went out to supper with the Plymouth, on the way back she took this photo, just had to share it

Last week I took the '40 out for a drive, along the main road there is a section of the old road that has been out of service since the "new" road was constructed in the latar half of the 1940's

I know the wheels on my car are a give away to the present, but otherwise the photo could very well depict the old road being in use sometime before the road construction changed the path of the main road.

Anyway, as usual, I just had to share:)

Hope everyone is having a good day,
Bob

Nice, Bob, and You got Your Sunshade back...

This morning Cooper and I went over to my sister's to visit with my Father and the rest of the family.  We took the Plymouth as it is a nice morning.   It is a twenty mile round trip to visit them, I could have takne a shorter route that cuts off ten miles total, but I didn't.  As we were getting ready to leave, my sister took this photo.  Cooper makes on good co-pilot and he sure does love to ride in the old Plymouth:):)  Must take after me:):)

John Pringree's daughter added the comments to the photo that I took the other day, just had to share:_):)

You all will get sick and tired of me posting photos of my car, but I sure do enjoy the old thing:):)

By the way, John owns a 1940 P-10 Business coupe and a 1971 Scamp.

Hope everyone has a good day,
Bob

Other than the plastic lawn bag, the photo really does look vintage.

Great photo, the old black and white gives it a lot of old world charm.
thanks
Mike

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

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

Cool photo, Bob-

We are having email problems, so probably can't reply to emails until at least the first week of April.

Regards,

Pat O'Connor

Good thing you had the photo dated, with the old plymouth and the building and the for-sale sign it could have been taken in the 40's (blue tarps might have given it away). Looks like a great place to get away from the busy world.

Since it is a bright sunny day here, Dad came over and we went for a ride in the Plymouth to visit some freinds who were getting ready to fire up the evaporator to boil sap.  Just love the smell of sap boiling, not to mention fresh maple syrup with peanut butter on either pancakes or french toast

Hope everyone is having a good day, I sure know that I am:)

Chet,

Hopefully you will read thiis posting.? Here is a photo of the Roscoe Diner that I took today when we were up there on our way just south of Utica

Bob

Hay Bob,

Thanks for the photo.? The place looks pretty much the same although I don?t remember the handicap ramp.? They probably have done some remodeling since last time I was there.? During hunting season, Sunday morning breakfast would have at least half the patrons carrying side arms.? The white fence around the roof line is a dead giveaway.?

Bob thanks for the photo.? Chet?

Chet,

Hopefully the weather will cooperate so you can get the '29 out for a drive this weekend, and that the '48 is able to come together as planned this summer, and yes the Roscoe Diner is still in business:):)

Keep us posted on the progress of the '48, and naturally the '29
Bob

Bob,

I always enjoy seeing pictures of your exploits.? ?The weather here in Virginia has been really nice but alas I am still plugging away at the winter honey-do projects and hope if the weather is OK this weekend that maybe I can take the old car out for a spin.? If so I will post a picture.

This will be a busy spring & summer for me.? Finishing the work in our home and getting my 48 through the paint process so I can put the interior back together.? Hopefully I will have a more modern car to putt around in by the end of the summer.? The 29 is great but drives that take me further than 30 miles from home are always full of anxiety.? ?With the rebuilt 48 maybe a ride to NY might be in the cards at some point in 2010.? ?Driving around my old stomping grounds in Kingston, Cairo, & Binghamton would be a real blast.? I wonder if the old Roscoe Dinner is still there.

Chet?

Pat,

 
The gloom and rain got here yesterday afternoon around 4pm, so far we have over an inch and one tenth of rain since it started.

I guess the good thing is that it is above freezing and the snow is melting because of the rain and warm temps, but............. Freezing rain is possible later tomorrow, not a good thing

Yes, the motorcyles have been out here the past couple of days, plus one '57 Chevy 4dr sedan drove by, so there is hope yet:):)

Thanks,
Bob

Nice photo, Bob.

In north central Illinois, everyone goes a little nuts on the first warm day of the year; motorcycles come out, and the occasional antique car. We had two days of sunshine and 60 degrees last week; now we're back to gloom and rain.

I couldn't take the '36 for a spin on the one nice day we had; my eyes were dilated from a visit to the eye doctor. I'll definitely have it out on the next nice day.

Regards,
Pat O'Connor

Yesterday was a NICE  day up here in the Catskils, so my wife, our six month old dog, Cooper and I put thirty miles on the Plymouth

By time I took this photo it was beginning to cloud, but the rain did wait until we got home

Just had to share,
Bob
