Hi,
My name is Winfred Parker,
and I am located in Paragould, Arkansas, which is in the Northeast corner of the
state near Memphis, TN. I just joined this list after stumbling upon the
website. I found your site when I was looking for the "Buried Plymouth"
story, which I was told about when I purchased my car recently (because mine is
very similar to the buried one). I don't own a computer, so I go bum off
my daughter, and she does all the technical stuff for me, like typing and
cruising eBay.
My vehicle is a 1957
Plymouth Belvedere 2-door sedan in poly gold/white. It has a 301 with a
powerflight transmission. It has 112,000 miles with the original
engine/drivetrain. I purchased my vehicle at the first of December 2003 in
Cullman, Alabama, from the owner that had purchased the car from the grandson of
the original owner from Port Angela, Washington. It was bought new there
by his grandfather, and was stored for 18 years after his death. My car
came with the owner's manual and shop manual, the original bill of sale (bought
1-7-57 for a '54 Plymouth and $2K), and it even has the original 1957 Washington
license plate on the front bumper, which is pretty neat since Arkansas doesn't
require front plates, so we can keep it on there. The owner I purchased
the car from was using it as a daily-driver and wasn't really interested in
selling it. I had been looking to buy another '57 or '58
Plymouth for a while. In the '60's, I used to drag-race a '57 with a
modified 301 with a standard transmission (a former taxicab), and I sure made
some Chevy owners sick! In '65, I built a stock car out of a '57
hardtop--can you believe we cut one of those
up??!
I plan on restoring my car
for car show purposes and Sunday driving. I am a charter member of the
Crowley's Ridge Cruisers car club, which is the largest club in this
area. We have a large annual car show in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
We raise money for various charities and have a good time doing
it.
Thanks for giving me the
opportunity to join this list. I'll have to come over and bug
my daughter all the time so I can keep up with the posts.
HA.

Melanie Mace, best daughter ever)
