    WOW - what great coverage.

    Frank (with the purple Mayflower) is a great guy to talk too. He has lived the life many of us dream of, is a super nice man and a bunch of fantastic '32s. I want to be Frank when I grow up.

    Great pic's (especially the cheesecake ones) and story. You guys are too cool. Looks like you had a great time. I'll admit it I'm jealous... what can I say. Hope we'll get to see you in a couple weeks for the KKOA. Gary
     
  7. Thank You so much for "Taking us Along" on that wonderful adventure. You do so much, for all of us here on the HAMB, we all 'road trip" vicariously, through your incredible threads.:D
     
  8. Thats nothing I have gone through there by the thermometer when it read 115 at 9:30 at night. Yeah overheated cars was an understatement. THANK YOU Megan for sharing your trip with us all here.-Weeks

    Great thread!----Thanks for posting Megan, now we want to see the return trip!
    Reminds me of the 5 trips across the USA in my 32 roadster starting in 1972 to Detroit,Mi.-----One thing you should consider is WINDWINGS, they are priceless when encountering RAIN, as you now know, that comes unexpectedly!
    Thanks for sharing your cross country adventure,-------Don

  15. Nice pics, looks like a great time you and matt had. I will pass George's name along to my aunt as my family has lived in Santa Monica since the 40's, My uncle was into hot rods big time and was in a club i believe named "The Pushrods", i tried to get his club jacket and plaque but my cousin tossed it. ask Frank if he knew a guy named Rod Caputo. can't wait to see the second half!

    I wish I would have seen this thread before photobucket cut you off. I've often wondered when they would ask me for money. Great trip and great job telling about it.

    Ok, the pics should be fixed. I had to shoe shop to upgrade my photobucket account. Tough choices! :D
