    Aw! Amarillo, eh? I would have loved to see that 3W up close.

    The Warricks have always had a killer collection. Those '33-'34 coupes and the deuce roadster has been sitting up there for years. There's a lot more than what you see in the pictures.
     
  2. Something to dream about; cross country in my roadster.

    THANKS for posting, look forward to some more.

    I just finished my '32 roadster. I cannot wait to take a trip like this. Only question is, "Do I go East or West?"

    Okay..... so the Wandering trio has arrived in California... and Ron sez........

    "Day 6, June 9th We left the Shilo Inn at 5:20am and arrived at the Donut Derelicts at 6 am and you had the feeling you where late because there was already around 100 cars sitting in the parking lot. We left there around 8:30 to go to a car show and on the way we stopped at Huntington Beach."
