sooooo Grizz - you asked and some of us responded, is it what you thought? you got 2 Colony Park wagon owners that would do it, soooooo what cha gona do?
At the very least, and if you don't do the deal, no biggie, you're only out the time and gas. If you do go to look at it, pics, pics and more pics. Also, if you don't do the deal, talk to the guy, maybe he knows where you can find a Chrysler wagon that might suit you.
Well he’s after the wagon. He said people have made offers and come to see it but he’s turned them all down. He could be just bluffing as we’ve had snow and 12 degree weather since Friday here in Nashville and he’s 4.5 hours east in the mountains where the bad weather is always worse. Either way, I was going to take the wagon up on one last road trip and drive the Chrysler back but my brother is talking me into renting a car trailer from uhaul? Do they have car trailers?! I know they have the dollies.
Yeah its a trailer that puts it up off the ground, about 103.00 a day plus tax and applicable fees... I've had to rent them a couple times recently... if the vehicle does not run bring a couple comealong's and chain as there is no winch on the trailer.
Cool. I’ll keep y’all posted. If it doesn’t run I’ll take the griswold back home to it warm spot in the basement.
You want answers? I'll give you answers. Number one, yes you are crazy but we already know that. Number two since the car is in or near Sevierville there are lots of tall mountains and ledges to jump off. Number three, maybe, I may know the owner, maybe not. The background of the photos looks familiar to a HAMB member who has and loves older wagons. It's a needle in a hay stack one in a million but if it's him he is very honest and trustworthy. Sadly I haven't been on HAMB for a long time and sort of forgot his name. Number four, it's just a day trip so go check it out. It's also not far from where Dolly Parton's home cabin is. She may be home so y'all kin say howdy. Good luck. Don't jump yet!
Here's nuther thought before you jump off a mountain or jump to conclusions. Maybe meet him halfway. Just go, you're wasting our valuable time. Git!
Where there're Dollys there're Dagmars, Sir. Both of your wives are probably reading this and you're distracting our soldier from his mission. Naught boy
50's Buick and Cadillac bumper guards were sometimes called Dagmars for some reason. My wife is waaaay over there working crossword puzzles and she knows I'm on this forum so it's up to Grizz to git er done. As far as Dolly, we met her when she was only starting out in country music near Gatlinburg and again at DollyWood, where Silver Dollar City #2 used to be. #1 is just below Springfield, Mo. Her family homestead is on a dirt road with my family name near Sevierville. Other than that I know nothing.
I love Dolly!!! Well, I’m free falling out into nothing. I have sent all the photos, details, and the long list of issues that come with the wagon and this guy still wants it. I really tried to convince him otherwise. I’ve got a trailer from uhaul reserved. I’ll be leaving early Sunday morning. The deal still ain’t done yet but I’ll be trailering the wagon and hopefully bringing back the Chrysler. I’m gonna give it a good once over the best i know how. This will be the oldest car I’ve ever owned or worked on so any pointers or things to look out for would be appreciated.Apparently Model-t and this guy are old pals and he’s pretty trustworthy. Either that or I’m walking into an ambush. In case it’s the latter I’ll be making a 4hr detour to pick up Model-t so he can ride in my standard 2 door Silverado with my brother and I. We are both loud and obnoxious and the last time we were in the car together this long a 45mph fist fight broke out going northbound on granny White pike. Your gonna have a blast!!!
ahhh, brotherly love! I know I have 3, no sisters, and hey if I can drive a trailered car, -taking the Mini to the dealer 120 miles away. take pictures, 30 years from now your kids will get a kick out them, Have fun Let the adventure begin!
If you do just remember to eat plenty of pickled eggs before hand (sometimes it's fun to make captive passengers gag).
