Not exactly a '59 adventure...

Post by Faulkner »

...but a Plymouth adventure for sure!

Mark Winkelman, a University of Pennsylvania alumnus, recently published this "Peking to Paris" article in the Pennsylvania Gazette, the official publication of the University of Pennsylvania. This story is reprinted by permission of the Pennsylvania Gazette, where it originally appeared - and with permission by Mark Winkelman. Look for this story in an upcoming Plymouth Owner's Club "The Bulletin" publication.

Mark also sent a number of additional, low resolution images with commentary which I will post here. Please ignore the image artifacts - you'll get the idea!
