'59 Plymouth Writer

Post by Fins59 »

3 posts in one night, gotta make up for lost time.
Thought I'd share this kind of interesting tidbit. Last summer I had my '59 at a local car show in Mosinee, WI and this fellow approached and in conversation said that several years ago he was striving to be a writer and had written several articles on the '59 Plymouth Sport Fury. He mentioned a few publications and I looked in my trunk where I usually keep info about the car and as I was paging through my papers he said "I wrote that one" and here it was a 3-page article I picked up somewhere (ebay maybe) from the Auto Restorer (I think that was the one) magazine about Robert Hind's '59 Sport Fury.
In issue 199, March-April 1993 of the Plymouth Bulletin, he wrote a couple articles in there including one about "The Impossible Convertible" that George Dalinas owned. He named a few other pubs he wrote for about '59 Plymouths, can't remember them.
He said he had to give up his writer ambitions because his wife said he had to get a "real job". Turns out he moved here not too long ago and is a Pastor at a local church here in Mosinee. Almost forgot to mention his name..... Park Hunter or M. Park Hunter. He had a little '68 VW bug at the show.

John did you take a 5 hour Energy Drink? Good to hear from you and neat little story about the writer. Spends most of his time writing sermons now I bet!

You need to drive by his church on nice Sunday's to show your car off again.

5 Hour Energy, nah, a little bit of rum and coke does the same thing, for me anyway.

Driving by his church is a good idea. He said he'd give me a complete magazine with that article. I just have the 3 page deal that somebody copied and put on E-Bay.

Dan Morton even has a loose Bible verse about "...Driving out evil with a "Fury"... He always throws that one out to us! :D

Let's get it right, John!

Did you know that even God owns a Plymouth?

He drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden in a Fury!

I was apologetic Dan, I said it was close to that! (I gotta go back to Sunday School! I wonder if Sister Mary Handgrenade is still around?)

Well at least you came back from Lovers Lane to chime in! So my loose quoting was good for that at least!!!! And I did remember it was you who said 'something.." about it. Schhheesh!!!

Any other pearls of wisdome from the Philly Kid? Or is it back in the hole till you see your shadow again? LOL

We are saying that about Morah! My son's daughter is scheduled to be delivered on Feb. 2nd, Groundhog's Day. If she sees her shadow, will she want to climb back in?!?

Nathan and I used to roleplay Ghostbusters when he was little, and I was Egon Spengler. When he asked me if I wanted to be called Grandpop or PopPop, I said I wanna be called Egon! And so I shall.

I remember those articles...well written. A pastor needs to be a good writer in order to preach effectively to his flock.
