Cool car

[Sigarms]

Went back home to dads house to pick some things up. He found some pictures of mine I forgot I had (had to throw the "Kendo" in there for my avatar).

First one is of a buddies good friend who let us use his car on a boating trip out in Idaho. Something you don't get to see that often.

Second one is of a "plane" trip to a river (Middle Fork of the Salmon). Water was running too high for the regular put in, so we had to get some planes to fly us to another put in. Plane ride was one of a couple I'll never forget!

What kind of car is it?

I wished I rembered, but I don't. I do remember that the rear door opened away from the driver (like the "new" Mazda R8 does) and being lucky that Idaho has a lot of "road side" boating.

Great old pics. Love the kendo also. Sorry though, can't help with the car ID. Something from the '40s?

Don't mean to seem stupid, but what is a "kendo". I can't quite make out the avatar and was just curious. Also can't help with the car, it almost looks european.

Looks like a late 30's Plymouth.

"Kendo" is a model of kayak. My first experience at "squirting" with a plastic boat (notice how the stern is under water with the boat "sticking straignt up? That's on purpose).

Had no clue, but I do remember gettting to the "put in" (where you launch the rafts and kayaks on the river) on a dirt runway in the middle of nowhere. One of the few times flying that I thought I might die. Those small planes were carrying a lot of gear (enough for a week).

Some of the english and european cars looked like this one and had this type of body style .
So did the 1936 - 1939 Gm products such as chevy pontic olds and buick.
