Modelcar If I understand you correctly, your Father's 61 Ply. is on one of the pictures on the ann. plate. So we are looking for the "plate"....Correct.

It was my Uncles '60 Plymouth. And we are looking for the plate, issued in 1961. If you found a site with these type of plates I would certainly put in the time to find it. I did find sites for china and ceramic plate collectors. But not for the metal types. Whatever their proper name is. That was my other question. Thanks Quentin.

What a morning: overslept, so I'm running around, getting breakfast for you all and getting myself ready for Tuesday Produce.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer/serving station.
Current temp is 42 degrees. It was 42 when I awoke at 6:10.
Everyone have a very good morning, and I'll see you all later.

{Edit}...Corrected mistake.
Well, nice to back in here, after a loonnnngg day. Produce went o.k. this morning, would have been better if we'd gone inside: my feet and the rest of me was COLD when I got back home about 10 a.m.
Menu for this evening:
1. Hamburgers/cheeseburgers w/salad and fries
2. Tuna Melt casserole
3. Spareribs w/cabbage, baked beans and cornbread
Hope everyone has had a good day and will have a good evening. Take care,you all, and see you later.
Hello everyone.
It is trying to be a nice day here but it is getting late enough in the year, that at this latitude, the Sun is starting to cast longer shadows, even at midday. We did beat our forecast high today by two degrees. It is now 43° and sunny, but it doesn't really feel warm. We are looking at a low of 21° tonight.
After I went to bed last night I thought I had a brainstorm about the location of the image of that plate, but alas, when I checked it out earlier there was no luck.
I see over on the Newswire that our poor weather in the first half of the year is still having a bad effect on CP's third quarter earnings. The effects of that weather are starting to show up in all sorts of issues. A major bridge repair on the busiest freeway in Calgary only finished and reopened yesterday, quite a bit later than its' original forecasted end date. The economy is already slow enough as it is, domino effects from bad weather are not helping the situation at all.
There doesn't seem to be any other local RR related news today.
Not the one you are looking for Bruce...but this link has a sample of Alberta plates:
http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/jpglps/CN_AB_GI6_1960's.jpg
That's excellent! It is not the type of plate under discussion, but it is still great. We were talking about serving plates and other decorative type plates. See my posts above.
But your link brought back two memories right away. I can vividly recall being out with my Dad when he put the white on green 1962 plates on our '59 Pontiac. I even remember the number, LT 4854. It has always stuck in my mind because it was not long after I had learned the 6 times multiplication table. And I remember those 1969 yellow on black plates making the news because they were the same as the California plates at the time, and California wanted to dictate the colours of license plates even in foreign countries. Because of the interconnected North American road network, and our much smaller population, the Alberta government had to capitulate. I forget what the 1970 plate colours were.
California vs Alberta? The powers that were in California certainly were arrogant and overbearing.
A little more understandable was the North Carolina-South Carolina difference that came up in either the late forties or early fifties: North Carolina had been switching the colors on its plates from one year to the next; I don't remember jsut what the colors were, but we could say they were black on white one year and white on black the next. And the powers that were in South Carolina decided that the new year's plates would have the same color as North Carolina's new year's plates were going to be. Needless to say, the powers in North Carolina were extremely upset. There was a difference: North Carolina had only one plate for a vehicle, and South Carolina had a front as well as a rear plate--but from a distance from the rear, who could quickly tell which state a car was from?

Good Wednesday morning everyone. We have a temp of 65 degrees here in Louisville this morning, going for a high of 69, 70 degrees. Also supposed to see a few sprinkles throughout the day, with possible heavy rain, storms around this evening, overnight.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go, including some hot cider for our Colorado friends, who may be digging out of quite a bit of snow this morning, if what I heard on the early news/weather is correct. And breakfast of oatmeal, toast, bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy and fried taters is on the warmer/serving station.
Everyone have a good morning, keep safe, take care and see you all later.
TEST
pencil broke....
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Well, Mook, my pencil didn't break, but I'm doing doing any crossword puzzles, so do you want to borrow my pencil? I do share, you know!
Very cloudy and overcast out, with periods of very light rain showers/sprinkles. Also slightly on the cool side out. But here in the house, it is quite comfortable. Last time I looked at the thermometer or heard the temp, it was 62 out, and that was a couple of hours ago. Sun is trying to peep out, so maybe the temp will rise a little bit.
For our late afternoon/evening meal, here is what I've come up with:
1. Country fried steak w/your choice of steak fries, mashed taters w/milk gravy, corn, beans or peas/carrots, and what I call "baked tomato pie": tomatoes w/homemade biscuits w/butter and sugar on top, and baked in the oven until the biscuits are a golden brown.
Everyone enjoy your afternoon, take care and see you all later.2. Grilled steak w/any of the above mentioned side dishes.

We had a '59 Pontiac too Bruce. It was a Catalina (Safari) Wagon.
Our plate was NJ (AWN-722).
Funny how you can remember those things.......

I've never completed a crossword puzzle in my life. Neither my brother or sister do crossword puzzles, either. But my Mom has done one most days for as long as I can remember knowing her. I can see her doing them at the dinner table, back in the station, 55+ years ago. Dad did crossword puzzle too, if Mom hadn't gotten to it first, or he found a different one. They always received a daily paper, and magazines used to have them as well.
45° now, with the low expected to be at freezing tonight. Pretty much the same conditions are expected for the next week.
No new local RR news that I have come across yet, but I may be back later if I find something.

I remember before I-95 was built...you had to be sure you were doing the speed limit on US 301 in the Rocky Mount area...or else you were sure to get a ticket.

......What Chevrolet is Diana setting in with the door hanging open.....?? I must be slipping. I don't believe that is a production Chevrolet....it does have a wrap around windshield, so that gives us an idea of the time frame....But certainly don't think it was a "production model".
Quoting cw: "Well, Mook, my pencil didn't break, but I'm doing doing any crossword puzzles, so do you want to borrow my pencil? I do share, you know!"
I was taught that in English, a double negative is really a positive; is a double gerund a negative gerund? (In New Testament Greek, a double negative is an emphatic negative.)
Send the emphatic negative to Sir Chicken. He seems to have some flustered feathers re: puters. I still have Windows Vista, but The Driver has Windows 7 and I hate to work on it. Drives me nuts trying to get around!

I'm looking at the rear fender, and the lines, plus the fuel filler door make me think this must be a prototype hardtop on a first generation Corvette body that was never produced. All of the Gen 1 Corvettes were convertibles, right? Quite interesting.
We never got the Dinah Shore commercials in Canada, although Chevrolet was the main sponsor of "Bonanza". As we Canadians used to observe, isn't it interesting that the main TV leading men; Ben Cartwright, Perry Mason and Captain James T. Kirk were all Canadians. Lorne Green, Raymond Burr and William Shatner, respectively.
