    JPJ, thanks for this outstanding coverage of the cruise. I missed it this year for the first time since 2000, but you've helped re-create it for me.

    Incidentally, regarding Tucker's collection: Kenny died several years ago. It's his widow, and I believe his kids, who are maintaining the collection and still opening it for events like this. The immaculate '64 Falcon Squire is hers, and she still brings it to occasional cruises and stuff. Wouldn't you love to know that somebody would take care of your shit like that after you're gone?

    50fraud, thanks! this tour has been going on for 24 years! yeah thats a great collection it would take days to really look at everything he has! and yes it would be nice to have your family take care of your collection after your gone instead of selling it all!

    Cool pics! Wish the weather around here (NW Wa.) would allow us to do stuff like this at this time of year!

    Thanks for all the photos, and special thanks to the folks that opened up their collections. That would be a great thing to do in other areas of the contry. Happy New Year!

    I don't think it's been mentioned before, but one of the coolest parts of this event is the map that's drawn by Hot Wheels designer Larry Wood each year. It's been something that each participant sees (and probably keeps) but I've never seen one posted publicly before. The first post in this thread is this year's edition.

    They are always amazingly complete and easy to follow, and are humorously written and drawn by Larry. If he hadn't been a hot rodder, he could have been a great cartographer!
