Can anyone help at all with finding owners of 50s(ish) Dodge pickups in the UK?? there don't seem to be many, but if anyone can help with this request, please let me know and I'll pass the details on:

-------------------

I was just browsing through your site, & wondered if it would be possible for you to point me in the right direction with a query I've got.
My father-in-law is turning 80 this Autumn, & in his younger years used to drive a Dodge pick-up truck (1964) to & from quarries in the Bristol area. Ever since then he's had a huge love affair with Dodge trucks, collecting many pictures, models etc.

For his 80th my husband would love to try & surprise him by seeing if we could get hold of someone who collects old Dodge trucks, & maybe has one from around the period he was driving them, & see if we could pay them to bring it over so he could see one in the flesh again & sit in it etc.

I'm sure he'd be thrilled if we could pull this off, but the thing is I don't have any idea where to begin with such a search. If it would be possible for you to give me any pointers whatsoever as to where I should begin, or if there are classic clubs for old Dodge trucks etc I could approach, I would be very grateful. Obviously if this isn't possible, I would totally understand.

Try TV or movie production companies - they seem to be able to source most historic stuff & probably have lists of contacts.

Might be worth a posting on the National Street Rod Assication forum www.nsra.org.uk/forum as there must be several around in the Hot Rod scene. If not the American Auto Club http://www.americanautoclubuk.com/
