Heres a pic taken on the way home from Pistons and Paint a few years ago before the Company Car had paint.

 

June 1967
Los Angeles to St. Louis
I was 16

Oklahoma


New Mexico






October, 1967
I had just turned 17
Los Angeles to Eugene, Oregon for an indoor car show with the "Early Times" car club
Some lake on our travels.....looked like it deserved a photo...so....



I jumped out of the Caddy powered Fiat to grab a shot while we fueled up



club President, Bob Darrah, in a Barris built deuce that was the cover car on Popular Hot Rodding photographed somewhere in Northern California.
I got stuck sleeping in it outside of Redding....the "old" guys who were in their 20's got to sleep in closed cars. COLD night for me, but we were on a "run" and I was supposed to be in class in high school, so I didn't care. We were too busy having fun.



Eugene Oregon at the Balboa Drag Strip/Airstrip
This was our "motel" for the weekend while the cars were in the auditorium. One guy in the club crashed his roadster the night before in the rain, but he was banged up but OK. His car got trailered back to L.A.
George "Bushmaster" Schreiber joined us with the "Roth Yellow Fang" dragster. He was the guy who introduced me to beer mixed with tomato juice. Just another weekend for a 17 year old...!!
Jim "Jake" Jacobs, Don Thelan, Bill Booth, Ron Weeks, Bob Darrah, Bob Witt, Leroy Smith and several others made the trip. It was a great road trip.




2004, reunion of the "Vintage Tin" car club....reunited with the Caddy powered Fiat of Leroy Smith's but this was a clone of the one we drove to Oregon 37 years earlier. That's my '34 sedan that I still have today. Leroy still has the Fiat.
The "Vintage Tin" was started in 1969 in my parents living room. It consisted of myself, Leroy, Pete Chapouris, Pete Eastwood, Gary Lorenzini, Bob Hines, Eric Vaughn, Tom Vandenburg, Ed Belknap and a few others.



not exactly a road trip but I always liked this shot of the sedan. It's parked in front of what was Don Nicholson's Speed Shop in Arcadia, California in the early 1950's




been staying close to home lately recovering from back surgery so this is my local view through an 8 inch windshield. I like this view so much I decided to live here for all of my 62 years.

 

Mazooma1, Loved reading your road trip story in the Jalopy Journal book!!

 

A very short glimpse of my truck rolling to an OT presentation of two recesntly restored stangs in Toluca. You can see my truck, a modified 48 Ford and a 1940 Ford convertible...hope you enjoy.

Going up 71 in Missouri heading to Iowa after the HAMB drags. Following my uncle's 56 GMC

 

My favorite road trips are the shorter ones.

Just a 2 hour road trip, but still one of my favorite photos...

 

Paso was always a favorite, until it moved to Santa Maria. In 2011 we drove our 40 Ford to the Nationals in Kentucky. This year, we are doing a trip to the Corvette factory in Kentucky in the Corvette!

 

On our way from LA, CA to Lincoln, NE ...... what a trip!

 

Road trip North and Back last month, 1100 Miles of fun.

 

NorCal last year

 

Following Alex Gambino & Norm Zabala to Santa Maria in 2012 shortly before the rain started in Paso, yes I got wet!!....shot by Suzie Gambino.
