Spring Fling is coming up on April 8-9. Only about a month away. I will be bringing my '58 Coronet this time. There are a number of other events before and after the show so check out the website here if you are interested.

The wife and I will probably head out for one of the days. I don't know if we are going to try and bring the Dodge or not. Looking forward to seeing your '58 in person.

I will be there with the '60 Polara... not sure which day... but more than likely, Saturday. My sister will also be there with her '63 Dart GT convertible.

I'll be there on Saturday only. Rain is forecast for Friday night and Saturday morning. That should die down before the show gets going, but could make the grass a little muddy.

I've been weather watching too. With rain Friday & Sat potentially, I don't think we are bringing the '56 Dodge, but will still try to attend on foot.

I am planning to bring the '58 Dodge, but maybe not if it is still raining a little during the morning. I never fixed the wipers on it yet! They are completely dead.

I just booked my flight to LAX tomorrow morning. It has been too many years since I was there last and I miss it. I especially look forward to meeting Aaron, so I hope he will be there on Saturday. I will only be able to be there Saturday through early afternoon. I have a 60 Matador wagon similar to his 60 Polara wagon. Plus If I have the story correct, his dad bought my 1942 New Yorker convertible a few years back.

I should be there on Saturday. Dad had two '42 New Yorker Convertibles. One was so rusty that the only intact part was the cowl. The other was painted blue and needed a restoration, but a decent starting point. That car turned out to be the Victory Special -- a one-off factory custom that was built for parade use and support the war bond effort. It was originally white with a red white and blue interior. I did a ton of research on the car. The '42 NY convertible pictured in the 70 years of Chrysler book is that very car. Dad still has it... and a truckload of NOS parts to finish it up.

See you on Saturday.
