Some of you may remember me mentioning Andrew Sharpe at the National
DeSoto Convention. He was the one from Australia that bought my '59 New
Yorker in San Francisco and drove it to PA for the meet. Well, today he
came back to San Francisco in the '59. He figured he must have traveled
around 8,000 miles. The reason the miles are so high is that he
doubled-back around 1,000 miles to catch a Jerry Lee Lewis concert!
I bought the car back from him, as he had a flight to go back to
Australia today. He had me take a picture of him next to the car and
then I gave him a ride to the airport in my '61 Newport conv. with the
top down. He was thrilled.
His whole trip was really pretty amazing. It was his first trip to the
US and what a way to go. I am sure when he gets back home and settled
in he will be talking about his trip on this list. His trip was a true
testament to Mopar cars of that era. Nick Nichols
