  4. this roadster looks like jim johnsons from albuquerque, if it is it has been on the road since the late to mid 70s with the same interior. jim and jamie johnson of Hot Rod Haven are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and their love for traditional hot rods are up there with the best of them.

    Thanks Megan!!!! What a great time that must have been. I applaud you and Matt for making the trek in the Roadster and ruffing it a bit. You are a bigger person then I am. Awesome Coverage for sure.

    What a great story and adventure. I was great seeing you again and good meeting Matt. It brings a great smile to my face to read about and see the pics from your trip. It must have felt like a once in a life time experience I am sure. But it can be had again. I guess the enxt big trip will have to be in your Chevy. Would love to see it in person. Thanks for sharing.

    Hello Megan, Congratulations to you and Matt on completing your odyssey to California. Frank Brown's purple roadster is also a real road warrior. Every spring he drives 800 miles from New Mexico to participate in the 130 mile Pasadena Roadster Reliability Run. We all get a laugh about that. Frank's an old friend and introduced me to you and Matt on Sat. at the LARS. Happy to hear you had a great tour of our great country and your roadster performed so well. Good wishes to you both and hope you make it out west next year. The FOGGER
