GO WEST YOUNG MAN!
GO WEST YOUNG AT HEART MEN!
THERE’S NO COOL LIKE AN OLD COOL!
How about four young at heart cool guys? One thing that makes them cool (at least in my eyes) is that they are old classic car guys, or classic guys in old cars. No matter, they decided to embark on an adventure filled trek across our great country. The plan is to drive their classic autos from Florida to Chicago to connect with old route 66 and take it all the way to the west coast They want to visit as much of Route 66 as possible making stops all along the way. They left Boca Raton on May 15th and when I caught up with them on the 21st they were just pulling out of Chicago headed for Springfield. Their loosely structured plan was to spend the night in Hannibal, Missouri and on to Branson the next day. Then to continue on to Tulsa, Oklahoma, “getting their kicks on Route 66″.
Their schedule is to end up in Santa Monica on the West coast on June 5th, take a few pictures on the pier and then finish at the Pomona Swap Meet June 6th prior to starting the trek back to Florida.
The group:
- Barry Margolis in a 1968 Cougar convertible
- Bill Strall driving a 1949 Packard
- Cecil Weipert piloting his 1964-1/2 Mustang
- And truck drivin’ Sonny Dolezel in a 1966 Mercury pick-up
You can meet and greet these gentlemen at the Pomona Swap Meet on the front row of the show car area. You can also follow their trip right here on the Swap Meet blog. Just click on “Old Guys Route 66″ on the right hand side column under our “Blogroll” to be taken to their personal road trip blog.
