How about the Forward look pickup also. Neat
selection of late 50s collector pickups was there last year also.
My neatest strange find was a NOS MoPar wash mitt
still in original plastic bag which you were to use inside the mitt to keep your
hand dry. Ugliest shade of green I ever saw but it said MoPar on the paper
at the top.
NOS mopar electric razor in MoPar box also for only
350 and NOS MoPar trouble lite which I should have gotten at 150 but didn't feel
up to.
Oh well. Came away with around 60 different
books from the Krause sale tent also. Most of them were my wife's but got
some addl copies of the Fabulous 50s book since it has two of my cars shown in
it. Also got the new Chrysler standard catalogue which still has my 50
Chrysler wagon in the 50 Chrysler section. BTW the house behind it is the
birthplace of Walter P himself in Wamego Ks. Have a couple extras of
both of these in case anyone wants one.

Subject: [FWDLK] Iola Car Show & Swap
Meet
Still recuperating from 4 days at the Iola Car
Show. Its either too hot or it rains. No rain this year, but too
hot. Of particular interest, there was one fellow there who brought 18 to 20
of his cars to display. 12 of these were Mopars. Here is a list of what
he had on display: 58 Dodge Regal Lancer.....59 Dodge Coronet......60
Dodge Phoenix......62 Dodge Polara 500, 361 HP......57 Chrysler New
Yorker.....59 Chrysler Crown Imperial Convertible....62 Crown Imperial
Convertible.....57 DeSoto Fireflite 2 dr hdtp....58 DeSoto Adventurer.....59
DeSoto Firesweep 361 V8.......61 Ply Fury and lastly, my favorite a 59
Plymouth Sport Fury. All these cars are in top show
condition. One of the best deals in the Car Corral (cars for sale)
was a 61 Imperial South Hampton 4 dr ht for $3950. It sold quickly for
3950. The car was in excellent original condition. I found a few
parts for my 59 Plymouth Sport Fury; taillight lens and backup lens, trunk
weatherstripping, windlace, engine decals. Bought lens for 2 for
5$. The lady said the Plymouth was not a popular car so she was
unloading these parts. I almost bought some for $10 a peice from a fellow
down the way. Anyway that swap meet is so huge that I'm sure I left some
parts there for John in Neilsville, so he better be there next
year. John Z in Mosinee,
