Town Crier Newsletter Nov/Dec 2020 PRESIDENT’S NEWS
Here in Western Mass, we have had a real taste of winter; freezing every night and cold windy days with snow mixed in for the entire week. Don made a mad dash to put on the snow plow, but luckily we didn’t use it, since the ground wasn’t totally frozen. We were lucky to have a nice sunny day for our October tour to New Salem, Mass and around the Quabbin Reservoir. The Palmers, Crooks, Whitmans, and Tom Dorward had a lovely picnic lunch in the village square of the Historic New Salem village while colored leaves fell around us. We walked to the Quabbin overlook before driving around the northern and eastern side of the Quabbbin.
As of October, the National Board of Directors had an opening, in case you are interested. The Board has also changed some rules for National meets. They should be in the next National POC bulletin.
The National meet in Springfield , ILL was cancelled and has been rescheduled for June of 2021.
Sadly, because of Covid, we will not be having our annual Christmas gathering . The situation seems to be getting worse instead of better. Jane Palmer says they have been hosting this party for over 20 yrs. We are even cancelling some family holiday gatherings. The club will not make any plans for the annual dinner meeting in February, it will be wait and see. We considered using ZOOM for a meeting but decided it would only include a small number of members. Let’s cross our fingers and pray this nightmare ends soon.
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS: Your officers have decided to WAIVE the DUES for 2021. Since we only spent money on 1 meeting and are sending out 6 newsletters, and not every month, it was an easy decision.
So, please stay safe, follow the guidelines, and have a nice holiday season. The next newsletter will probably be at the end of January.
Judy
dear judy thanks for your. newsletter. I am a previous Plymouth owner. my first car was a ’41 2 door Plymouth which I had through high school and it was the chariot that took me and close friends to many a drive in movie. recently I missed a ’39 slope back that went for sale and was wondering if your association advertises member sales? I belong to several car clubs and my biggest problem is finding storage for another car
bona fortuna, Charlie Northshield
Charlie refer to the “For Sale” category or tab for those cars or parts on sale. Generally any Plymouth related car is posted on the Colonial Region Website if the owner requests that it be published and supplies enough info like location, condition, model, and method of contact.
Also note that the “Parts For Sale” frequently lists not running Plymouths or incomplete Plymouths also for sale. Both of my vehicles were built by patching together incomplete shells, chassis, and parts. Sometimes that can be the only method to get exactly what you are looking to get.
A third option is to post a “Car Wanted” ad in the “Parts Wanted” area.
Moving outside of our posting which is mostly N.E. you could post a “Car Wanted” ad in the Plymouth Owners Club National “Bulletin” which runs bi-monthly. Imagine how much more potential exists at what you are looking for by going into a Plymouth Club National Publication. Yup, someone from South Africa may also have the car you want as it is a Worldly sweep!! Right now that National Bulletin lists a 39 4 dr convertible for sale that has only 200 miles on it from it’s most recent total restoration.
