Hi all, I spent some time this weekend to organizer the storage garage and get things put away. Winter is here soon. 60 Adventurer with 28k original miles. The 57 Adventurer is a clean one from San Francisco with only 54 k miles. It's sure fun to just look at the cars and admire their thought and creativity.

That's a really big garage. You are making me jealous!

But then again, I don't need to put my cars away for the winter!

The black car is a 60 Fireflite. It is a very clean body. Too many projects. So little time. I am slowly collecting what's missing and slowly working on them. When the kids are gone I will have more time. Maybe. ? I've had the challenger since 85.The Crossram since 98. My 70 W500 I have had since 92. When something in great shape comes along it's grabbed and never leave home.

Cory,
Thanks for your help yesterday on my 57 Dodge. I'll pick up the new coil later today and get it running again. I love the pictures. I am so anxious to get going on the 57 Desoto wagon. Then someday I can say, Desoto Lives!!!!

The 2 cylinder Honda is fun to drive. They say they got 65-80 MPG. I have not driven it that far yet. Notice the shifter coming right out of the dash. They had an automatic version too, but I have never seen one. Even in a picture. But I do have the info in my shop manual. First Honda's imported and very few remain. Cost was around $1650.00 new. Air cooled 600cc. Basically an engine/trans like a motorcycle.

Wow, lots of cool stuff! I had collection like that at one time but eventually realized I would never get to them so I sold most to focus on my Coronet. Two more left to sell though...

The finned cars are amazing, especially the '61 hardtop wagon and '57 Adventurer coupe. The silver '68 Charger R/T 4spd and '71 Cuda 440+6, and '70/'71 Challenger R/Ts are great.

But the star of the show is the Honda 600 coupe!

I'd prefer a '71 Dodge Colt or '71 Mazda RX2 over the Honda. I settled for a '69 Corona.

ANTIQUE CAR POX. Very contagious to adults. Symptoms-chronic complaint as to the need for fresh air, sunshine and relaxation. Patients eyes wander to back yards, corrals, ditch banks, gullies, fields and hollows just to find what makes the old car go. A gas tank here, a fender there, a call to Max when in despair. Yearn to see in that old barn. Work awhile till content. Then dress in clothes of long ago and drive a mile to catch a smile, a wave, a grin and pride within. Antique car pox is very contagious to friends-so be careful. NO KNOWN CURE TREATMENT-medication is useless. Disease is not fatal. Victims should go to car shows, parades and swap meets. They're lots of fun you know ! One sure way to feel the best is to call good friends and say, "let's go".
