Figured a few you might appreciate this video. Once a year they do this antique car rally here in MN. It's called the New London to New Brighton car rally. It's 120+ mile back roads cruise between the 2 cities. Rules are any car up to 1908 and any 1 or 2 cylinder up to 1915. I cruised the Plymouth up to check it out and a shot a little video.

Great video!  Always wanted to do the London to Brighton run in The U.K. but too expensive for a retired guy on a pension and the logistics are overwhelming.  Maybe some day I can make the domestic run.  Your '29 roadster is a beauty. I'd love to see more of it! Thanks for sharing!

Great Video Dave . Still learning about those brass era cars . My cousin found a 1912 Metz from flipper who could justify investment . Although a rough barn find we have it running and he drives grand-kids around farm with it .

Great video and your coupe is really nice! It takes a lot of dedication to keep one of those brass era cars shined up and a unbelievable amount to get them in the condition those are in!

If you make it up, send me a message. I am planning on doing a video on my 2 Plymouth s, just haven't had time. I do a lot of tractor shows and they are in full swing right now.

Awesome! I took the roadster to a show last weekend and give rides to folks who have an interest when I can. Get some smiles from the youngsters in the rumble seat.

For sure, parts are few and far between. Currently working on a rare early gas tractor. Know the pain of having to make and modify parts to get it running.
