The Sept 2023 Region Meet was held on yet another spectacular weather day on Sunday Oct 1 in Simsbury, Ct. after being postponed from the previous wet weekend.

While stunt planes & helicopters flew overhead the vintage vehicles came out in numbers to take advantage of a break in the rein of Sept. rains marching thru the Northeast.

The Colonial Region placed an anchor at a picnic table complete with tent & identifying sign for all to discover.

Although our cars were scattered over a wide area Steve & Karen had their 30 U close by:

There were plenty of younger generations present showing their interest. Visible from our picnic table was an extremely rare 69 Cuda model with rare 383 optional engine.

Parked not far from the Cuda was a Roadrunner with air grabber that showed plenty of chips from it’s use which further met the criteria of a vehicle in use:

At the end of the field sat the large 69 Sport Fury convertible owned by Steve Thompson a longtime Plymouth Owner’s Club member. What a great day for a convertible:

Parked nearby at the end of the runway was the Palmer’s 35 Dodge Commercial Car Express Model complete with Chrysler Plymouth Service Vehicle markings. A bit shabby after hauling a couple of loads of mulch but better thanks to all the pre-day rains:

Getting to this meet was well worth the efforts of getting around some closed water logged roadways.
