Year End Wrap-up: All-Chrysler Carlisle

I’m still digging through the stack of material that simply didn’t make print, and this week I bring you some more scenes from the 2009 All-Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle.

Held back on July 10-12, Hemmings Muscle Machines editor Terry McGean and I worked our way through a mid-summer storm, photographed two cars that have since been featured – Mannix Dart (issue #75, December 2009) and a 1967 Plymouth Hemi GTX (issue #74, November 2009) – and scoped out the car show, car corral and swap meet in a quest to find more feature material. If you’ve never been, the Mopar fans really know how to put on a mid-summer meet. Next year’s dates are set for July 9-11, 2010.

Between gates 2 and 3 was this row of 1964-’66 Barracudas

Stan Laskowski brought out his 383-powered 1970 Dodge Super Bee

Robert Haner attended with his 1968 AMC AMX (four-speed and all) – yes, there were several AMC vehicles on-site.

Rhode Island resident Ken Puckett brought his 1971 Plymouth GTX
