This was too touching to skip over, the following article was sent to our email:
Ron Falt’s son Mark was doing a tour in Afghanistan with the Canadian military and like every parent in the same situation; he was worried 24-7. That worry went off the chart when Mark saw his friend killed in an ambush just before his return home. Ron was already working on a surprise welcome home present in the form of this 1968 Coronet.
Ron had been secretly working on the car to surprise Mark when he got home but he had to unveil some of the package after the ambush-he emailed pictures of the hood scoops on the car to take Mark’s mind off the fate of his friend. It helped. Suddenly Mark had something to focus on other than incredibly dangerous, potentially lethal days in Afghanistan combat zones where, as he saw it, there’s a culture of “no respect for life”… Fortunately he became really curious about the change in the car’s hood and he assumed that Ron had done other things to the 68 Dodge.
If you collect Mopar diecasts (you can never be too old for toys, don’t care what anyone tells you!) then check out these two new mopar hotwheels featuring Roland Leong’s Hawaiian Charger – #7 and Sox & Martin Super Stock Barracuda – #5. There may be more mopars in the series, but these are the only two that I spotted.
Just thought I would pop by and include a slideshow presentation of our 2008 TVMC Show & Go event. I apologize for taking so long uploading it to the site as I’ve been extremely busy the month of August.
Mitch Koch sent me an email with an interesting 60 second commercial for the 2008 Challenger. It’s based on the famous Challenger movie “Vanishing Point” but with a twist at the end. He hopes you will enjoy it.
Not much news floating around, so to keep you entertained, here are a few more vehicle-related videos that I pulled off of Youtube for your enjoyment. Make sure you hit the “rest of this entry” for the other videos!
