Re: [FWDLK] Nat'l WPC LA Meet

Easy solution.. Join WPC and read the newsletter.

 

Had a number of friends from Ne who drove out for the meet.  One couple did the route 66 trip for a week going out.

 

WPC meets normally sadly only get 150 cars max it seems.   This one had a great agenda for the week but in an awfully crowded part of the world.

 

Town and Country registry had special meet/dinner out there and only 20 or so people for the dinner.  We had 50 or so at Iola in middle of nowhere.  I understand the locals just wouldn't drive through the traffic to attend and then come back again on Saturday for the show also.

Attended last week-end.  Great show, great cars, lots of fun.  Wondering if folks on this list were there?  Wonder if folks on the list knew about it?  Wonder why there weren't more FWD Look type cars there?  Seems to me it was a great chance to show off our favorite cars but a bit lightly attended.

 

Not chastizing.  Just wondering about how to get the word out on this type of event.  The WPC is planning a National Meet in the San Francisco area in 2009.  I'm thinking ahead.

Subject: [FWDLK] 1961 Dodge D-500

Hey Guys,

 

Today I purchased a wrecked and rusted 1961 Dodge D-500 2-door hardtop (minus engine and trans).  The rear quarter emblems are missing so I can't tell if it is a Phoenix, Pioneer, etc...   The side trim on this car extends all the way to the leading edge of the front fender and is an "upper/lower" trim similar to that on a '58 Plymouth Belvedere (at least on the doors and front fenders).  A stainless "spear" on the upper part of each front fender divides the trim into the two "upper/lower" pieces.  I've looked at a bunch of '61 Dodges on the net and have yet to find one with this particular side trim.  Every '61 Dart I've seen has the side trim that ends on the door and does not extend to the front of the car.  This car is a total wreck, but does have a little trim left and the super rare '61 D-500 emblem.  Has anyone out there ever encountered a '61 with trim like this?  There appears to be evidence that "Sportone" type inserts were once installed between the upper and lower trim pieces.  This all looks factory, but who knows?  Any help on this matter would be appreciated!
