Trainguy
From his daughter's post on his Facebook page it looks like we've lost Phil Myers from Lehighton PA.. Just a super guy. Phil had some early stuff like a curved dash Oldsmobile,1908 REO,a Case car, and Franklins. His flathead cars that I remember were a 1936 Phaeton,1941 Ford station wagon, 1941 Dearborn coupe, 1946 convertible, 1946 Mercury convertible with a built engine Walt Dupont did and a Columbia rear end, and a 1951 convertible. I asked him if he had the stock engine in the Phaeton. His answer was " I wouldn't have one of those tea kettles in there, it's got a 59 AB". When they had the driving tour I didn't have my 48 yet. He told me to just come up with and take one of his cars. I couldn't get out of work to take him up on it and really regret it now. He had one of the nicest garages I've ever seen. Godspeed Phil...

Re: Trainguy
So sorry to hear this and my condolences to his family. I was privileged to see him and shoot the breeze about old cars and toy trains at a couple of the Barner’s Bashes hosted by Vic Piano.

Re: Trainguy
Our condolence to your friends family. What a collection of cars!
I am sure he will be missed in the antique auto community. Regards, Chris

I also got the pleasure of meeting Phil at one of the “Barners Bashes” in FL. Spent the weekend riding in his car. Truly a great guy! Condolences to his family.....Mark
