Hot Rods How did I miss this ? The McGee roadster video

The McGee Roadster: Hot Rod Legend | Historic Vehicle Association Documentary

 

That's the third time I watched it. Great piece of film! Bill

 

THANK YOU! Now we need to know were Bruce was driving the McGee '32. Bob

 

Road trip to Cal?

 

Wow,
That was great, thanks for posting.
Learned a lot about Bruce Meyers and the others just watching this.

 

So did I. HRP

 

That was great! Thank you

Absolutely it was the Angeles Crest Hwy. I hadn't been there in years but a couple of weeks ago I had to go to Pasadena from Inyokern and we took the Palmdale cutoff which hooks into the Angeles Crest Hwy. It was a real trip down memory lane. I'm planning to make it a point to make at least one trip a year with one of my old cars for the rest of my life. For those of you who have never been to SoCal its worth the trip to drive this iconic hot rod trail. Most of the world would be surprised to see actual wilderness in the midst of LA county.

 

Thanks Danny, it was great watching this short film!

 

Cool flick,loved it,but kind of wrong cost view in small spots to be expected. Yes we had hot rods at the same time most every were in the USA. Got'a love them all.

But Holy cow is there an opportunity to drive"Spirited" he tells me all the time a street over he See's some of the Most exotic cars head into the canyons, I have only driven my 356 Outlaw An my brother's O/t 911 through there, an one day Hope to drive my rod from Western NY to visit an do it , like I did in the 356...Thanx for Clarifying I thought it was, But not sure. Great video by the way!

SNOW? HRP

Were exactly is that mountain range? HRP

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same snow capped range I was looking at in January from the parking lot at the GNRS in Pomona? Bob

Ray Brown had the same problem. Bob

 

Thanks, Danny...I enjoyed that very much.

We've got great roots, fellas.

 

My gosh that's an awesome film!

 

Cool, thanks !

 

A heart warming event, when last night I showed my step daughter this video.
She is a McGee and was born overseas to an American father, she has only ever visited the USA once at the age of 16 in 2012 and currently resides in Australia.
She knows no relatives on her fathers side as he died before they ever returned to the USA as a family which was before the days of the internet etc.
Her father died in his mid 60's, but was of the Bob McGee era.
All she knows is her father James hails from the State of Virginia from a small town near to DC and her dad had a twin sister Karen who is probably deceased also by now, so she kinder suffers from lack of knowing any stories or family history from his side of the family.
I know it gets her down every once in a while as everybody wants to belong and being able to sit down with her and show her the McGee Roadster video seemed to give her a thin but important line of association with kin in name at least.
I note she walks a little taller today, so it must have had an affect on her for now at least.
For me being a long time hot rodder, it now seems to give her a bit stronger connection to me as her step dad...
Thanks for posting this video.

 

Great video,thank you for adding it.
