Re: Route 66
I may have opened a can of worms...I mentioned it to my 10 year old in passing and rather than laugh at the idea, she was all over it. When I grew up in Chicago my Uncle would take 2 weeks every year and make the drive to visit his brother in Huntington Beach. He would swap the 4:10's for 3:**'s in his 58 Vette and off he went...did it from the mid fifties all the way up the the early 80's in various period muscle. this is a small list of what he took..58 Vette, 60 Vette. 64 Impala SS, 66 GTO, 69 442...then he grew up and the muscle went away. I always heard the stories and it's kept me thinking about it for the last 10 years.
I guess there's no time like the present so I will continue planning and see if I can pull it off. I'm guessing mid June when school lets out and before it gets too hot. I'm guessing we'll meet a few more cars doing the same thing along the way. My plan is to pull into SuperDawg Friday night for dinner.
I hope others chime in and give some imputs on daily travel /mileage, places to stay and things to see or blow off. I'm starting to get excited. As a "plan B" the guys at Goodguys have 2 trips planned originating from Pomona...1 Pomona up to Puyallup, Wa in July...the other Pomona to ? someplace just north of Denver.
I'd appreciate any feedback
Charley....can I borrow a car the Red Witch?
