Re: {Chrysler 300} Events later this week -

We had a wonderful weekend at Iola - best weather in memory! Smiles on everyone's faces to join up again under our big Mopar tent, though somewhat fewer Forward Looks this year than in the past.

As for Letter Cars, Bob Kelley cruised over in his black F coupe on Thursday, parking next to my white F coupe, Bob Brown's and George Collar's Lilac '60 Windsor convertible, and another couple's red over white '60 DeSoto coupe. Chris and Beth Cutts brought their black C coupe and pink/silver '58 Dodge Royal. Randy Guyer trailered in his beige '60 Sonoramic Commando Fury. Brad and Rhonda Paulson with friends Paul and Karen trailered in their black '69 Hemi Charger 500 and drove their silver '60 NYer ragtop, Rhonda's daily driver blue '70 Challenger R/T ragtop and white over red '60 Polara coupe with rams. Rhonda and Karen always see to it that we're all very well fed! Jim Jungwirth visited, but said his '55 300 is a couple years from roadability - looking forward to Jim joining us at our Fall Meet, with many of you! Brian Frank was there, sans his G with its brake booster out for repair, but his brother Bruce brought his white '59 Adventurer coupe and nephew David cruised in his black '59 FireFlite coupe. For those of you who will be in the Milwaukee area the weekend of July 29-31, David is hosting the National DeSoto Meet in suburban Milwaukee. Bob and George typically bring a few of their Letter Cars and other Forward Looks, but this year opted for just their '60 Windsor, a silver '59 Monterey ragtop, and their early Corvettes - a '53, '54, '60, '65. And, Chad Caldwell trailered up his beautifully restored white/mandarin '57 FireFlite ragtop from south of Atlanta. Chad is known to some Club members - Bob Brown and Andy Mikonis, and I'm guessing others.

I've never done Carlisle, though have given it some thought. I also found it interesting that the huge - ~18,000 virtually all US '50s and '60s car - Power Big Meet that I attended in Lidköping Sweden two years ago, was again prohibited from taking place last week, due to Covid. So we're indeed fortunate to be able to party together with our cars this year!

Noel/all,

I hope Iola had as nice a weekend/turnout as we did in Carlisle! So glad I was able to make it for a few hours at least, even though my F still wasn't ready to make its debut...but at least I was able to enjoy looking at Gloria and Tony's Fs, as well as all the other great cars, and the wonderful people who brought them for everyone to enjoy! Thank you again to Gloria for the personal tour of her F coupe, to Jamie and Tony for the CD and DVD, to Jerry for the fun stories, and also to the club member's wife who supplied the fantastic zucchini bread!

Looking forward to more Forward Look club activities sooner than later!

Best Regards,

Randy Edison

With both Carlisle and Iola happening later this week, I'm hoping many Club members get out to enjoy those events.

I'll be cruising up to Wisconsin in my F on Wednesday, rain or shine, and attending the wonderful Iola event on Thursday and Friday. If you're planning on coming up, be sure to come to Gate 5, and visit us at the Mopar tent. If you're cruising up in your Letter or other Forward Look Car, we'll probably make room for you to park and party with us!

From prior experience, cell service is very iffy up there. That said, my cell is (630) 747-7990.
