According to my estimates, in order for me to travel the 3200 miles from my
house in Massachusetts to Tulsa, Oklahoma & back in my Super-88, taking
into account premium fuel, lead substitute, tolls/food etc. I'll need just about
$800. If I can split the gas bill with a friend... (XP715 you reading this?) then
my cost drops down to about $450.
Now why the hell, you ask would make my one vacation of the summer a
roadtrip to a not-so exciting town in Oklahoma, 1598 miles away?
First, I've been saying for a long time now that I want to meet up with my
buddy Duffy at some halfway point in the USA this year. He lives in Phoenix
AZ and just sold his steel-roof 1991 Pontiac GTA (350TPi) and bought a
>MINT< 1961 Rambler American with 18K miles. It's got a inline-six flathead
and three speed auto. Pretty much as spartan a car as you could buy in
1961 while still buying American made.
So one fantastic vacation would be to have our two classics from the 1960s
meet up at some half way point i the great U.S. of A.
But why the hell Tulsa, Oklahoma?
& why on June 15th of this year you ask?
THIS IS WHY!!!

Now my question to you guys is how many other C&G members can meet up
with me/us to see this Fifty-7-Belvedere get dug up after a 50 year nap under
the Tulsa sidewalk in front of the courthouse? C'mon.... Knightfan? Anyone?
