Default Another Great Adventurer

Here's another guy who likes to drive his classic. This '47 Dodge photo was taken on the ice road to Tuktoyaktuk, the furthest north one can drive in mainland Canada.

We had a group of model A’s that went all the way north to Deadhorse (Bearing Sea)
But it was Summer time.

I like the old "knobby ground grip tires". I remember dad having them on the 39 Ford. Its a nice adventure but all that grimy road salt caked on the underside of the vehicle would ruin it for me.
