Showing kids what it's like to ride in the back end of a half-track, or just letting their parents take a picture of them behind the wheel (parked, of course!) always makes guys like us happy. Shows where MVs are displayed are a shocker for those who restore Corvettes or show queens - they can't believe that we actually let folks touch the vehicles and climb inside them! Hands-on history is what it's all about! <br /><br />Glad you could get to see this convoy, Mike!

We did a bit of engine work on it, like a new cylinder head, rebuilt the carb, new distributor etc. Runs better than most modern cars. Will start after sitting for six months even on the coldest mornings! Use it when roads are not yet plowed after a snowstorm. You do have to be a gorilla to drive it though; no P/S, P/B, un-synchronized 4 on the floor (down-shifting 3rd to 2nd requires "double clutching"), and vacuum operated wipers that need manual assistance (using your spare hand) when accelerating. If vehicles were still like this one no one could be guilty of texting-while-driving, because you're so damn busy just driving this thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-70485149169348237492015-09-28T00:27:44.780-05:002015-09-28T00:27:44.780-05:00Long as your breathing, we're happy to wait a ...Long as your breathing, we're happy to wait a bit.
