Letters Fargo poster WE WERE LOOKING for porcelain Mopar signs and found this Fargo sign. A little out of our price range but it’s a cool sign. Bobbi Berkheimer Hazard, Nebraska The owner and advertiser of the sign, David Gonzales from Wisma Antik, replies: I PURCHASED the poster in Sydney, Australia, in 1970, during my early days of collecting. I had it folded up until I married and settled down in Perth, Western Australia, in 1979. I then had it framed. I was told that it came out of an old Fargo dealership somewhere in Sydney, together with a number of other posters and advertising. The poster measures 54" wide x 42" high and is marked on the bottom right hand side: CODE YFEMD. LITHO IN USA David Gonzales Trigg, West Australia Belvedere Belvedere to Portland Portland THANK YOU for the great job done with the PLYMOUTH BULLETIN. I am very pleased with the way the article on my Belvedere turned out in the 297 edition. Well done and much appreciated. I am starting to prepare for the Portland Plymouth meet in June. Don Mack, Medicine Hat, Alberta Southern exposure exposur I AM FINE and am again in Brazil for the winter. I love all the BULLETINs, as always, but I think the Southern Hemisphere issue is such a great one. Congratulations. Bill Brisbane Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Telling elling our story stor WHAT A GREAT PRESENTATION of our meet! Of course, we’re biased, but your ability to lay it out is creative and functional at the same time. We really appreciate your telling our story in such an interesting way. I know Peggy and Jerry will also be pleased. David Young and Dianne Taylor Westminster, Maryland Westminster estminster hospitality WE JUST RECEIVED Issue 299. What a issue! The coverage of the Westminster meet is awesome. David and Dianne -6- The Door To Jim Benjaminson: WE RECENTLY FOUND, online, your September- October story about “the Door” being on display in Miami, Arizona, and enjoyed it. I had made a trip to Miami myself in June and got to see the door first-hand. I also got to meet the proprietor, Dik With his father’s door Mickle, who wasn’t there when Dennis and Lucy Ann (my siblings) visited the first time. He’s quite a fan. Here are a couple of pictures from my visit, including one of Dik inspecting the back side of the door. It’s amazing to me how long this door has lasted, considering its lack of care. By the way, Dik is a very engaging fellow. I enjoyed my visit so much that I stayed much longer than I had intended. Sully Sullivan Richardson (son of Sullivan Richardson of the Adventure South expedition) A letter to Jim from Dik Mickle of the Howlin' Javelina in Miami, Arizona: IT WAS SO GOOD to hear from you in both ways. The first came in the mail with the Plymouth Owners story about the Richardson's door. We sure did have a fun time seeing them (the Richardson family) and reminiscing. We appreciate all you do and I’m and the entire Mid-Atlantic Region hosted an incredible POC meet. The meet was so well-organized with wonderful tours, excellent food and Marilyn, Sully and Dik sure that we'll be crossing paths again with your club and help in keeping the vision alive! Dik and Marilyn Mickle Miami, Arizona Dik and his prized door hosts--another POC meet we will remember. Merrill and Bobbi Berkheimer Hazard, Nebraska
Remembering Derek Derek THANK YOU for including, in the BULLETIN, Bill and Lynn Bartlett’s article about my son Derek’s passing. That was such a nice surprise when I received a copy in the mail from them. My son was my life since I adopted him -- and our ‘58 Plymouth Hollywood car and the Plymouth Club were a big part of that life together. I sat beside his bed the last 35 hours of his life here on earth, held his hand, hugged him and even though he was out of it, I continued talking to him about all the good times, especially with his Christine movie car and the fun we had scaring people at car shows. I watched his every breath and every rise of his chest as he struggled to breathe. I wanted so badly to be with him when he passed away but I drifted off at 0620. Ten minutes later I awoke and did not hear his heavy breathing and saw that his little chest was motionless. Every day, every minute, I think about this, break down, but also realize how grateful I am that he came into my life at OU (Oklahoma University) that day. The tears flow each time I write this to someone and I know life will never be the same. The article you graciously placed in the BULLETIN honored my son and brought me comfort. My thanks go to you, the Bartletts, Chris Suminski, Paul Frics, Jim Benjaminson and the many others in the Plymouth Club for your friendship and compassion. You all are one of the reasons I may survive this. Jim Garvie Grove, Oklahoma “I guess there’s one more thing to do with a Plymouth,” writes Dennis Cutshall of Honey Creek, Iowa, on the back of a photo taken of him with his ‘53 Cranbrook convertible at the time of his daughter Valerie’s wedding. “The ‘53 has always been her favorite.” Hill climbin’ Plymouth HERE’S MY1941 SPECIAL DELUXE on the starting line of the Newport, Indiana, Hill Climb on October 4, 2009. That was our second year of participation in the hill climb. We placed third in our class. Although the top car was a ‘41 Studebaker, the next four were Plymouths. Of the 15 cars entered in the class, eight were Plymouths from 1939-1942. The 2009 event marked the 100th anniversary of the race. Anyone interested in this event can mark the calender for the first Sunday in October of each year. October 3rd is the race day for 2010 with practice runs on Saturday. The whole town turns out for the race, car show and townwide flea market… and it’s free! Check newporthillclimb.com We have been Plymouth Owners Club members for two years, now, and enjoy the magazine very much. It’s a real class act.
