Glad it all worked out...Rust check is now taken care of get some rest and stay warm......like the look on Poochie like what the heck is this thing...reaally...when you go in I'm going to pee on the tire...

 

Great adventure... "one silly little seal with only 123 miles to go......". Congrats on the new ride!

 

Reminds me of taking trips in my old 56 Ford. I carried a case of oil in the trunk anytime I went out of town, and usually used it all.
Glad it turned out ok. Thanks for the story.

 

"No more speed, I'm almost there, gotta be cool now, gotta take care. Last car to p***, here I go...."

 

Great story and adventure.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. My wife and I did a Virginia to So Cal run in 1968 with a tired '56 Chevy (back in the days I was in the Army) and only took a case and a half of oil. The memories are priceless.

 

I went to Tampa the day after Thanksgiving last year ,spent some time with a friend and drove a new ot vehicle home to Iowa. It was a great trip just don't eat off the roller grills in the truck stops, it makes for a lot of potty stops, great story thanks for sharing.

 

Nice car, great adventure.

 

Congratulations on a successful adventure! Thanks for taking us along.

 

GOOD JOB ! ! ! GREAT adventure..... Congratulations on your purchase. You are going to have a wonderful time enjoying your '46 ! ! !

 

Great experience. Glad you made it home safe. Looks like a great car to enjoy now!

I have a 46 and the oil and temp gauge do not work very well. I installed a set of period correct SW gauges under the dash that tell the true story. Besides that, 48-earlier flatheads do not have a ton of oil pressure. It may be just me, but as long as it has pressure and sounds good, it should be good to go. Someday....someday I will do a trip like yours

 

Reminds me of my grandpa’s Ford. “Check the gas and fill the oil!”

Glad that you both made it and your dog looks like she approves. You will never forget the adventure and have made a few friends along your journey. Think of the roll back driver, when was the last time he loaded and hauled a 40's vehicle in his career?

 

warhorse,

The roll back driver was a really nice guy and he had some nice compliments about the coupe. I should have asked im what the oldest car was that he has ever had to haul.
