Default First parade as PIC

Had my first parade today (Baltimore, Ohio Festival) with me being the "pilot in command" and not a young lad riding in the rumble seat. Beautiful day for a parade in the A...70ish and cloudy so no issues with overheating and was able to avoid excessive clutching. All three (or 5 really) horns wowed the crowd. Many in the crowd remembered this car when my dad drove in the parades back in the 60's and early 70's. Had the wife up front with me, and my sisters in the rumble seat. The dark haired one took her designated seat as seen in my avatar years ago! Thought you might enjoy some pics. I'll add more as they start to arrive in my inbox! (plus there are a few more in my "parade" album.

Good eye! A 1967. He had the tow rope just in case anything went wrong with the A!
