Had the car 51 years and always worried about long trips and not breaking down. Like 100 miles. Turned 66 this year so thought this would be a good year to do Route 66. Since the wife and I both have an old car, I thought it would be safer to take both cars. A spare one I guess. About 4,200 miles to Phoenix and back. The Gremlin had a poor battery connection in Amarillo, made us 15 minutes late for dinner, but otherwise the cars ran perfectly! This was the best picture of ours of the trip. |

One of my two VW's. Took this picture just a few minutes away from my childhood home. This LL was gifted to me in April of last year from a couple who I got the car running for back in 2010. _________________ PNW Dub Folk & Kitsap dub Folk (KdF)
