The 51 in the background is the one I helped the old guy with.
Took my wife to a car show in Jasper TX. Saturday. 70 miles north of Beaumont. Our scenery isn't as fine as other places but I wanted to share anyway. Rusty drove just fine ,ran fine got 18 mpg. There was a 25 mph headwind and at 65 it was real noisy with little to no weather stripping . Before we went I did some upgrades to Rusty. New windshield, new heater core, installed shoulder belts, new seat cover from Mac's., some used vent windows and a tach just to see what's going on under the hood .My steering worked flawlessly even on rough patches of roadway. After seeing the other cars and trucks , the wife said I need some new parts .
My wife and I drove the truck to my Mom and Dad's for Christmas dinner today. She took a couple of photos thru the windshield. Looks like I should have washed the windshield first. 65 degrees here in northern Arkansas. Certainly didn't feel like Christmas weather, but I'm not complaining. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Mark
Nice. You must have been speeding, it looks like your hood blew off! Merry Christmas.
LOL, Thanks Abe. Merry Christmas to you too! This was my wife's first ride. She did tell me that I should have mentioned that, when going down our steep driveway, I stepped on the brakes a little hard and threw up against the dash. She caught herself with her hands.

I took a couple on the way out to my favorite breakfast place, out thru the grass flats of west central FL. Really, folks, the pictures were all taken thru the windshield of Blue. This secret location is one of the few old Florida places left.
Beautiful pictures Ray. Not another car, fast food restaurant, or blinking sign for a motel in sight. I've never been to Florida, but I think of it as having bumper to bumper traffic with strip malls, restaurants, motels, and beach towels sprawled out as far as the eye can see. I'm encourage to see that there are still parts of Florida not ravaged by the tourist trade.
Stuart , Fla. Memorial Day Parade . Larry Ankrom's 1918 Dodge . Original owner Gen John Pershing . It was his parade car .
The large flag is from my Aunt who was in the Coast Guard & the small one is from my father -in-law who was a Marine .
Parade = 1 hr. of wait time in staging area & 8 min. of parade .
Heres a couple "through the windshield pictures.
Found this spot on the back roads in the Bitterroot Mountains
Then we moved up to the Glacier National park area in hopes of driving the "Going to the Sun Road" But it was not opened yet. Maybe next trip.
The touring cars in the Glacier national park are Whites rebuilt by Ford and run on propane.
Next we are headed to S. Dakota stoping a couple places along the way. Stay tuned

Maybe next trip.
