- Get ideas for the car I'm building -- got lots of ideas; took lots of pictures,
- Look for 1932 Plymouths -- I found a total of only 5, none of them roadsters, and
- Look for 241 Hemi engines -- I found none!
Conclusion; My 1932 Plymouth with a 241 Hemi will be one of a kind.
When I checked into the motel, I was shocked to see a yellow '32 Plymouth coupe in the parking lot. I did get a chance to meet the owner and have a long conversation about his car, which was powered by a 400 cubic inch Hemi. He has driven it all over the country for many years, but it looked pristine.
Saturday morning, I returned to the fairgrounds for another session. I did get the opportunity to speak with the owner of one of the Model PB Plymouths that I had spotted on Friday. It was a more traditional, full-fendered 2-door sedan, beautifully executed in a deep ruby red metallic. Sweet!
By around 12:00, I was done in, suffering from sensory overload. You had to see it to believe it.
