59 Mayfair in Regina Saskatchewan

Hi all, last November I came across an ad for a 59 Dodge on marketplace and it was love at first sight. The car actually is a "Plodge" meaning it's a Canadian version of what would be a Belvedere in the states. Front end is Dodge and it's sold as a Dodge,back 2/3 is a Plymouth. Makes sense as I live in Regina Saskatchewan. Sorta runs, drives and stops, but a long way from being reliable and roadworthy. Glad to have found this group as I'm sure I will have many questions. So far, I sent out the badly bent front bumper for straightening and re-chroming and put it back on. Removed the starter and had it rebuilt as it needed a bendix. Still waiting on an ignition switch to arrive. Engine has a broken pushrod and the parts have arrived and that's the next project. Thanks for letting me join!
Thanks, Gary

Thanks! Facebook gives folks their 15 minutes of fame, but an individual’s story is scattered to the four winds, and the search capabilities suck. The Forum can’t hope to compete with the instant gratification FB provides, but it can provide a coherent view of a person’s efforts and aspirations. That pleases me, and I hope it pleases the subjects of my obsession.
