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?

Not I5...not these days in a Model A.

Most likely 101-1 to San Luis Obispo where my youngest daughter lives, then back north via 99/97 and over the Cascades on 20.

I did this trip (as far as my son's in San Jose) last summer in my V8 powered MGB...

Same to you, David.

I'll meet you and your A in SLO and we can caravan north. Maybe pick up some more Barners along the way.
