Greetings All,
Went to Ellis, KS today to the 50th anniversary
show for the
Chrysler Boyhood home. I was told there were 97
cars present with 3 or 4 that didn't show . There were cars from 1926 to
2005. My bad luck, I was one of the no-shows. After spending quite a
number of hours getting ready I went to the car wash to get the dust off and had
to tow it home. No, I didn't wash the engine. I let it run while I washed.
It died at the first stop sign. Towed it home and it started right up,
seems to be heat related. Did the same thing when I brought it home last
June, but I put it down to all the crud in the gas tank. The fuel system
has been cleaned and the tank sealed, new filter at engine and new sock on tank
pickup. Havn't had time to start on the ignition yet. Spent too much time
repairing mouse chewed wires, turn signals and cornering lights and 1 tail
light. Anyway, I rode down with a friend.
Back to the show-- They have received a number of
donated cars and land has been donated across from the home and they broke
ground today for a new display building, 250 x 72 feet, from the drawing quite a
fine looking project.
Hope they get their funding soon.
