Keystone Cops tour fun

Post by TWrenn » Thu Aug 18, 2022 7:38 pm

Today was the first of a 3 day tour sponsored by the Keystone Cops club. We're touring the area around Newton Falls, Ohio. Beautiful Amish/Mennonite country, covered bridges, a model train museum like no other, great Amish buffet (gained 5 lbs. I'm sure). Fantastic day. A little rain but no big deal. Tomorrow will be just as nice of a tour, including a stop at Snyders. I'll pick up my order there and save shipping!
Attached just a few highlights. Kudos to Jim & Sue Cook for all their work putting it together.

DAY TWO...
Traveled to the Leetonia Beehive Coke Oven site, built in 1866. Amazing place. Coke ovens numbering towards 100. Great lunch at an Amish restaurant in Columbiana. Stops at Snyders parts store as well as Don's fantastic
display of all sorts of classic and vintage cars. Then off we went to Warren to one of the tastiest ice creamery places in Ohio. We were running a bit behind so skipped the Packard Museum. Still had a great day of touring with no rain this time.

Wouldn't be a day on tour without someone having their head stuck in or under a car for a quick adjustment!

I love the idea of going "shopping" at Snyders. I dont think I would get out of there without a full trolley! What cars do they have in the museum building? Great pictures of what looks like a fun tour.

Hey Warwick...
Well we 'bout cleaned 'em out! Lotsa tires, some model A stuff, lotsa parts.

Don has everything from a 1909 Coupe, a gorgeous 1911 Limousine...only one in the world (think that's what he said), a beautiful 1916 Town Car, tons of 50s & 60s cars of all types, many totally original. Finally met him of course, a super, nice and quiet guy.
