TZ Bridge - Last car over attempt
I am making an attempt to be the last car over the TZ Bridge (before the old span is officially closed tomorrow PM) in my 1929 Phaeton. This is the bridge that connects Rockland County and Westchester County over the Hudson river. I probably won't be that 'last car', but am hoping to time it to be at least one-of-the-last-1,000. I thought I would share this with Ford Barn.

Re: TZ Bridge - Last car over attempt
That should be easy, A's are always breaking down! Shut the fuel valve off, maybe it would quit running mid span!

I guess the prior link didn't do what I thought it was doing. Stay tuned. I'm heading to the garage shortly to check oil and turn the generator up so I can AHOOOGHA appropriately with my headlight on. |

Re: TZ Bridge - Last car over attempt
This is great! We've driven our Model A over mile high mountain passes, but you are waaay braver driving yours into NYC traffic. Did that once in a modern car, not for me. Best of luck! Love your blog by the way, stumbled onto it as a new Model A owner in 2014 and learned a lot.

Re: TZ Bridge - Last car over attempt
Guess what type of car was the last over the TZ Bridge?

Re: TZ Bridge - Last car over attempt
Seth, that's fantastic. That is something that you will tell your great-grandchildren about. Did you just get lucky, or were you able to arrange it with the State Troopers?
