I remember going from Tacoma, WA, to LA and back in my first Model A in the fall of 1965 with a buddy. I think we had a spare, jack, lug wrench, a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter. I had finished putting the car together from good used pieces that spring. No problems. Young, stupid and lucky no doubt.

I'm going to duplicate that drive this summer. I'll bring pretty much the same as I did in 1965 (maybe also a slip joint pliers, a crescent wrench and a screwdriver...oh, and a credit card ).


Dick,

There were very few cars on the road in '65. Are you going down I-5 or the 1 & 101? Traffic should be ok until you get to Sacramento then it'll be a nightmare south.

How far south are you going?
