2900 miles in 4 days..........

My Fathers 46 1 1/2 ton truck got sold to a person moving an airplane from NY to California, 4 days after he picked it up we got a call from California, he had made it no problems, 15 mpg, 2 quarts of oil, not bad for a 49 merc engine with just a re-ring job.
 
A buddy of mine and I drove straight through from Dearborn, MI to Atlanta, GA one summer. 39 Ford coupe and 39 Mercury coupe. 800 miles, 18 hours. Average 50 MPH which is darn good even for modern vehicles. Fairly leisurely breakfast and lunch. When we got to Knoxville, TN we decided we were so close to home we would just drive on through. We drove 70 MPH most of the time, except for potty stops. Not too many white knuckle moments. lol

I guess Lawson is ashamed to know me, but the "Buddy" is me. My 39 standard coupe, Dearborn winner was the other car.
