Default Charlie Randall & McIntosh

Didn’t know Charlie went to the same junior college I did and that he grew up in New Milford, PA. Nice article.

I saw that article on Mc's FB page a while back. New Milford is a small rural town just a few exits north of me off I-81. I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie several years back when I went with Ryan for a parts run. Turns out he's an antique car buff and owns several classics himself.

Ryan and I showed up in a '59 Cadillac Coupe I had a the time and Charlie, Jimi and a few Mc employees came out to see it. A great time with the great people at 2 Chambers Street.

Quite familiar with New Milford. I grew up with lots of family in the Montrose, Tunkhannock, Meshoppen triangle.

I remember your 25’ long Black Caddy from our visit to the factory in 2015. It was beautiful but you gave it to Ryan!

Who could forget that day meeting with the great guys of AA! I still have the McIntosh glass that one member made who generously passed them out to all who attended.

The other occasion I was thinking of was shortly after I had picked up the Woodrose '59 Coupe that Ryan and I used for a parts run when I was up there dropping something off for servicing.

A number of Mc people came out including Charlie, his wife, Jimi and some others. I think Charlie mentioned having just picked up a '67 GTO somewhere near me in Scranton for restoring.

Here's a picture from that day - late September 2014.
