Jim and Megan were gracious hosts, and let us visit their fabulous collection -- and even more fabulous retro 50's home -- on a single day's notice. Here are some pix and flix -- sorry for the poor quality of some, shot in low light. Enjoy!

Jim's 4-door, er, 2-door '59Remember piling in the back of Dad's Suburban, going to the drive-in?OK - ain't Plymouth, ain't even Forward Look! But this car is a heart-stopperWhen I first saw this car two years ago, it was a wreck. What a total transformation...stock twin 4-barrels on a Savoy!Yup. 150 mph speedometer!
I have never heard of these people or this collectin.
My response to the pictures and videos is stolen from Jackie Gleason...
"Homminahomminahommina......!"
Ah, supplying their last names helped immensely! and thanks for the review of that old post...only 2 years ago you were doing Portawalls, seems like forever and a day!
You deserve to be recognised, WSAM Morton, for being the adventure guide and transportation supplier for Ron and Matthew! Is John Quinn there yet? I hear the heat wave may back off just a bit for your Carlisle weekend.
Roger, thanks for thinking of me. No they went to this fantastic place on Tuesday and I arrived early Weds morning. For some reason they could not wait arrived in the land of pepetual perspiration to alloow me to see these sights. Though I did get a chance to meet Jim Rawa and hi bride on Staturday at the car show and Forward Look Frank and his dad too.
The trip was great and the Chez Morton accomodations were excellent too. Ron and Matthew were great as usual too. More on this when Dan post all the pictures of Carlisle 2010.
