I had a lot of great drives in that car. None were terribly long. I think the best though, were going to cruise-ins with my Son riding shotgun. I'd get out the Mcguire's and he'd get out the tire lettering crayons and an hour later we'd be on our way. Nothing high speed....just cruisin'. Seeing and being seen.....hangin out at whatever drive in was the place to be that night. They were put on by local car clubs. Went to the cruise at the Sonic in Evansville, IN and got interviewed on My Classic Car. That was a day to remember. Had just gotten a nice trophy presented to us by Dennis Gage at the All Ford Show in Henderson, KN, then drove the 30 odd miles to the Sonic to finish out the night. Only drove maybe a hundred miles that day, but the memories will last a life time. They'll have to now.

Yes, anyone looking close will see that I'm from Portland, OR. I was in Indiana for a year with my Son. I gotta say hotrodding, racing and specialty cars are a lot more evident there than out here on the coast. Even the cops there are pretty mellow about cruisers. Not here....they ticket you for it.

Here's a toast to warm summer nights in a car dreams are made of, making new dreams and memories.
