We drove our 56 to the GoodGuys Del Mar, Ca show last Thursday, came home on Monday. Just over 900 miles total. Not a single problem. Car ran flawlessly. Got 20 mpg on the flat land of Arizona, not as good thru the mountains of California. We have over 6400 miles on it since we got it on the road last September. Next step, cruise control..........it loves 80 mph too much.
another successful run......

Hey, Jim!
As of March, 2020, I've got 15,300 miles on the car in 18 months. Haven't been anywhere with it, or anything else since. Covid 19, you know. All the shows we planned were cancelled. Thought about doing Salt Lake City Good Guys, but wife's cancer is back and she's not up to that much traveling.
Looking at what I posted to start this thread, the cruise control is in and functioning, the glass is out, and new Auto City Classics smoked gray glass will be in soon.
Good Guys Del Mar Got rescheduled to October, if they are doing it, we'll be there. Of course, we'll do their Scottsdale show in November. I sure hope 2021 is a much better year.Comment
