The U S. Border was backed up 45 minutes.
Engine was getting angry as no air was moving through the rad.
Defrost was on blast and kept it in neutral and increased the rpm to pull air when not moving.
Shutting it off would result in coolant spewing out.
So I kept her running

Engine temps reached 210 so stopped at the Michigan Welcome center cool her down.
I also ate and had a nap on this vintage bed designed to fit in the back seat

Along for the ride is Maggie's vintage Coleman cooler she inherited.
Bought new by her late Dad back in 1973 and still have the box at home!.
Coleman did put production dates on their schtuff!
Really good shape and works great.
Old car with old cooler and a driver thats also getting old...lol

Which was a good thing as they got me a good parking spot on the showfield.

The Grumman torpedo bomber is a war vet that served in the Pacific in WWII.
They demonstrated how the wings folded as it was posted on a carrier.

This may look like a DC3 but it is a c47s
Beautiful 48 Plymouth, and a pair of 59 T- birds compliment the plane.

1966 Sunbeam Tiger with 260 Ford V8 with a couple planes in the background

 

[cbarge]

These planes all are fully functional and did several fly overs during the show.

The show organizers did a great job selecting cars to be in the show.
This 1934 Terraplane is a good example.
Very appropiate for a show like this.
You just dont see them at other shows.

He needs help working out a few small bugs.
