Sunday started w/ a photo op across from the St. Louis arch. With much regret I decided to leave the CATL and head back to Brownsburg. With interstate travel I use little to no brakes an a straight drive home w/o stopping seemed to be the best way to get home safely. My hats off to Jeremy for...

As per the usual the CATL was far more adventurous than one would possibly think. Arrived at the Gemini Giant about 15 min. late due to crappy traffic. @sixpkrt Imperial had quite rough idle. With everyone pitching in it was determined the carb base gasket was leaking, a replacement was found...

Getting new shoes for the CATL 2022.

@JohnNOLA Kokomo was the end point of the 2023 CATL and is close to several members. Would love the tags for records.

I have a spare set of road wheels that I bought from @73 New Yorker at the 2022 CATL. I did so with Ming in mind, along the lines of what @amazinblue82 suggested. This said, soon after I acquired Ming, I had also bought a set of four NOS wheel covers for her. They are still in their original...

@ayilar Who looks under the hood on the CATL Drives?

@david hill correctly pointed out to me that folks who, after the end of the CATL at the Kokomo plant, would be returning westward to West Lafayette (for example, to catch I-65 and head back toward Chicago) would normally use Indiana State Road SR-26. Given the helpful heads up of @Stoney 65...

Thanks to the recon by @david hill a few days before the CATL, we avoided traffic issues on IN-31. Still, as it was getting late, we decided to skip the stop at the transmission plant. Instead, we took a photo of the engine plant :) The best things have an end. See you all at the 2023 CATL!

@Mingo -- good looking 1967 Polara (if I see correctly)! What are the reflectors on the front fenders? @LocuMob I see that you are in St Louis. You may be interested in joining the 2022 CATL run on Sept. 17.

If you like cruises with fellow c-body fans then you may wanna join the CATL this year. It’s three Saturdays from now. Bit of a hike from Iowa to the starting point in central Illinois onto Indy and back, but it’d be nice...

What are you gonna do with the Road Wheels?

One never knows where life will take us. Been on here for 10+ years and pretty much a lone wolf. Thanks to @ayilar and the CATL, I've been in that gas station pictured above. 'Fat guy in a little coat'! Agreed. I always thought the 73 front looked a little too big and square-jawed, but each...

...on attending both of those shows again in 2024 and maybe some others if time allows. Well one for sure I want to try and make this is the 2024 CATL Drive, that looks like way more fun that sitting in a parking lot! I had to pass on it this year because I had not had the time to get all the...

...cars are old and few of them remain, so having a chance to drive two of them back-to-back (as happened today) is very rare. I have seen how @73 New Yorker treats his NYB, he and I caravanned together for several hundred miles at last year's CATL, and so it was easy to trust him with Buttercup.

I will have them in the trunk of my car during the CATL drive. The first $300 in cash takes them home. I will not ship them and I won’t take less than $300. I will post detailed pictures later today.

Those last two pictures remind of the first CATL, when we got on the back roads on our way to meet you at Slades Corner, nice little backwoods two lane roads. It was some of my favorite driving that year. From 2019:

Hey, you could always bring some of those foreign exchange students with you like you did for last year's CATL. They can drive your Dodges.

Mark your calendars: the fourth CATL Drive (aka the 2022 Edition) is on! The first (2019) CATL ran from Rockford, IL to the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee and onto Racine, WI (for beers and car discussions with @70 Sport Suburban) in September 2019, with a stop on Lake Michigan's western shore...

Ayiler, Hi. Those light up when the headlights come on. Driving lights. Thanks for the tip. Mingo
