Default 1931 Coupe - A month on the road across the USA

Howdy Fellas,

Here’s a handful of photos of my 2024 run across the US and back in my late father’s 31 Coupe. Spent a month on the road, approx. 5,500 miles, and only one blowout plus a blown head gasket when passing through 110 degree heat in Arizona. Pulled behind a lightweight pop up trailer and camped out at truck stops and Walmart parking lots, and used my handy gym membership for daily showers too! I celebrated my 25th birthday on the road, doing my best to fulfill the dreams my dad and I had together with that car, as it was his first car in 1973 for high school it was my first car at age 15. This year I will be on the road for 40-45 days in my 1914 T across the country. I’ve had too many men tell me they wished they did something like this in their younger years so I’m doing while I still can. Also a heads up for those passing through Colorado in an A- Wolf Creek Pass kicked my behind!
