Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
Hi Seth, it was a lot cooler cruising today from Rolla, around St. Louis, thru Illinois, around Indianapolis, and finally stopping for the night along I70 heading towards Dayton, Ohio. The engine temps were right around 185°F all day today, as compared to 190 to ~ 195°F yesterday. Running at those higher temps caused some vapor lock issues a few times yesterday. Other than that, this engine continues to amaze me at how well it cruises along @ 60-65, and occasionally at 70, with the conversion from a 3.78 to 3.54 rear gears. About 600 more miles to go tomorrow and I will be home. Looking forward to that .

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
Got home from Tulsa three weeks ago....how time flies. I had promised to post some pictures way before this, but as they say....better late than never.....
These first few posts will be the pictures I took on concourse/show day after I finished Deputy Judge duties for '32 to '36 passenger cars. This was a very hot day to be out and about on a black top parking lot from ~ 8am to 2:30pm. I was in a bit of a hurry to take these pictures and then get back into the air conditioned hotel .

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
More pictures taken at Woolaroc Ranch and Museum. There was a huge collection of American Indian artifacts, and many of these items were found on the 3,500 acre ranch. I realize these pictures are not related to early Fords, but this was a very nice attraction to visitwhile driving our Fords on the last tour of the meet.

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
Hi John. Appreciate the photos. Man-o-man I bet it was toasty on an un-shaded Oklahoma parking lot in July.

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
Steves46 - you can tell how hot it was by how few people you see in John's photos. Once their cars were judged, most folks were inside enjoying a leisurely lunch and a/c. Or taking pictures...

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
Hi Everyone, JM Thanks a bunch for taking the time and effort to share your great photos with us here on FordBarn! That '39 Zephyr Convertible deserved three photos! What a beauty. I also love the look of the red '53 Ford! Beautiful front end.
Thanks again!

Re: 2016 Early Ford V-8 Central National Meet at Tulsa
That's all the pictures I have ready to post for now. These last few were random shots taken around The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and a couple of the steel string band and well known country singers who did such a fantastic job of entertaining us during the evening of our social dinner gathering.
