Hey, Model T buffs. I've taken a quick step over the fence from the early V8 forum to share something that may be of interest to you. I just got back from a 1,100 mile round trip to Death Valley in my '47 Fordor. In response to that another on that forum just emailed me this story printed in April 2012 Hemmings Motor News about a 10 day round trip from LA to Death Valley by three model T's in 1926. I enjoyed it so much I'm posting it here for you to enjoy as well. To see my trip go here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62705

Here is the link at the end of the article to the 76 actual photographs and their captions. Great stuff! (Scroll down about half way for the links to photos) http://cdn.calisphere.org/data/13030...tf367nb34j.pdf
