Yesterday, me and other members of our local Mopar club drove our cars to Enid, OK, to visit what is likely the most impressive collection of Duesenburgs and pre-war Cadillacs around, along with a couple of pre-war Mercedes, a Bentley racer, and a Ferrari, plus an American LaFrance fire truck and a Diamond T pickup. All restored to beyond concourse standards.
We weren't allowed to take pics, though.
These are all cars that have been to Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, or several other of the best car shows. What is cool is that every single vehicle has current registrations! He can get in any one of them and drive it. And he does exercise any two of the cars every Sunday with a 45-minute drive on the rural paved roads around Enid. The owner is not one to sit back in a leather chair in his warehouse and just look at them! Several car clubs came out to participate too. Perhaps 80 people attended. Great fun!
How did the Coronet run? Fantastic! Drove that 233 miles without missing a beat. Fuel was $3.80/gal for real Super Unleaded. At 12.3 mpg, the day wasn't cheap for fuel. Sailed right along at 80 mph for the majority of the trip.
And check what I found for sale in Crescent, OK! A '66 383 Charger! Complete but rough. $9K. Odo shoes 23K miles.
