Location: New Castle PA		Was at the "3D picnic" yesterday, in Chagrin Falls Ohio. (That's Delightful, Delovely, DeSoto...)

Here's a pic of Leon Haddix's '57 Firesweep (it's for sale), Pat Caffey's '57 Fireflite, and my '57 Adventurer. Sharp eyes will also see John Nosol's red '58 behind us.

As always, it was a great day, despite a half-hour of rain shortly after our arrival.

Location: Parts Unknown		Was that 57 Fireflite an original blackwall car with no bumper guards ? Would be a VERY unusual set up.

Location: Ny		Great photo, Ed. I enjoyed the one year I was able to make it to the 3D picnic, even though it was in a 72 Dart and not a Desoto.

Location: New Castle PA		Doc, I don't know about the original blackwall setup (or not) on the Fireflite. Current owner likes the blackwall look, and the look of those (incorrect for 1957 DeSoto) wheelcovers.

Jessica, I remember when you attended that picnic. It was VERY nice to meet you. You came a long way to be there, and that meant a lot to all of us.

Thanks, Big M, for the nice comment!

Location: New Castle PA		BTW, I remember someone in a post wondering if "Bob Terpak" was a fictional name -- someone trying to cheat a member here -- a scammer. I said that I KNEW Bob and he was very real. In the picture above, Bob is the guy wearing the cap!

Location: Ny		I'd love for the opportunity to attend another 3D picnic. It was well worth the drive to meet all of the nice, helpful people I had been talking with, and getting to see their great cars. Beautiful location, too.

Location: Western New York		The 3D is a great event. Though I take my daily driver. I've made the 3 hour drive 6 times now and it's a 100% worth it. Its like going to a reunion.

That's me in the yellow shirt talking to Bob.

Location: New Castle PA		Geoff! I'd have given you picture credit, too, but I guess I was focused on the "scammer" thing with Bob. Always a pleasure to see you, and glad you (apparently) made it back OK!

BTW, I remember someone in a post wondering if "Bob Terpak" was a fictional name --


***************************************************

Actually, Bob is a fictional character living out a fantasy life.

Me, I'm a one-dimensional cardboard cut-out image of nothing in particular.
