@tallzag, would you happen to have paperwork for WP27LOG109872 My 70 Coronet convertible was sold in California. I don't know the dealership, but it's worth asking nonetheless. To my knowledge, the car spent most of its life in Riverside California. Many thanks for the work you do, it is...

This is a great thread. I commend you for undertaking this trip. You get to see the country, hopefully meet some FBBO members on the way and get your car back to Oregon. Looks like a win/win/win.
