Today's post is part of my "Mopar Heaven" series that I did a few years ago. When I 1st reviewed these photos, I was not pleased with them. But after a little magic and photo processing software, the final results were much better. I can sometimes be too critical of my photos, this may be one of those times.

OK guys, I really like the photos now too. I think they turned out great. What I meant was, after reviewing them in my camera just prior to uploading them-they looked awful. I was bummed because I had already taken down the setup and I really wanted this model to be part of my "Mopar Heaven" series. Even after viewing them in the computer, I wasn't impressed. I have learned, however, to wait and view them in the photo processing software, things can change after cropping and a few other adjustments. Which they did, I was very pleased with how they turned out when all was finished. As I said before, I can way to critical of my stuff.

I wonder what happened to Roy. I ordered some cars from him as well. He actually had a shop in Smithtown NY which is where I grew up. I believe I moved before he opened, or it was before my obsession with these little cars.

Roy was selling the odd model on our auction up to pretty close to when it closed John. It was so good being able to buy from a trusted seller, knowing what you would get was exactly what was described. And always at a fair market price. And yes there were other great sellers here too. And there are indeed some on ebay. Its just that our auction was unique in that it was collectors trading with each other. My only gripe was that in recent years so many sellers would restrict their sales to U.S only.

Gr8 photos of a gr8 model which, I'm glad to say, I have. Plymouth: the star of the Forward Look in the low-priced field.
