We set out at 6 am to headed the museum where the two car haulers were. Darrin drove the Columbia that housed the 1959 Corvette, the 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 and the 1956 Desoto Firefly. Frank drove the Topkick that housed the 1962 Chevy Impala and the 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery.
The trip over to Florida should take about 6 hrs. But keeping with traditions we had our first flat tire before getting out of Mobile at about halfway across the bayway.
It took longer to get the vehicles back together than it took to put the spare on. We were back on the road and headed to Florida.
About a 100 miles into Florida the tread came off the spare. After a few mishaps and misunderstanding the original tire was fixed and put back on. That one soon went flat and Clyde then had to go get two new tires.At this point the rest of the group went on to Ocala arriving at just after 5:30 pm.
We were all ready for some ice cream and a tour of the National Parts Depot museum. What a great time catching up with friends.
Clyde and David made it about 10:30 that night.
