Chad & Phylis, That is a very very very rare license plate. One of a kind. You need to hang that in your garage at home. You will be the talk of the town with that on your wall.   
No extra charge.

Thanks Tom for everything....making the necessary arrangements  and all. You'll be getting some mail soon.

Also thanks to Jeff for helping to 'fill in the blanks' of those same arrangements and giving an enjoyable presentation.

Fun trip this time and weather turned out about as well as it could have considering rain in the forecast for every day.

As so there you have it.....looks like Project 'Southpaw' is underway. Thumbs Up

From what he was telling me it sounded like the expense was 'getting' it....the cost of the van itself was secondary to the whole situation. LOL

Cool story though and a very rare piece....one of maybe four?!

Roc,
 
He was telling me about it at the spring reunion. When he was explaining the costs involved, Missy kept saying 'idiot.' Really funny...for me, her probably not so much.
 
Yeah, I think you are right, its one of four or something like that. I think the Swedes did the conversion and this one wound up in Poland if I remember right.

Lonnie and I had a great time seeing everyone and finally bringing his '46 out of the garage. This is the one we picked up in Patagonia,AZ about 5 years ago. Took a while to put it together....Everything was in boxes and pieces. We were resting in our room when group photo was taken. First time for Lonnie to miss being in it. Thank you Art, Darlene, Jeff and all the crew who worked diligently to make this another great fun show. Love you guys, Lonnie and Marilyn
