Default Granbury, TX show today

The weather was made to order perfect, sunny and not really hot.
LOTS of cars turned out including six 56-62 cars. The annual show is held on the town square surrounding the old court house. I had a great time, and one a nice door prize (an elec leaf blower).

I had a great time and so enjoyed meeting you, Tom. You’ve helped me out many times over the past few years so it was great to finally see you and your car (love the trailer!).
Any problems going home?

The 56 drove back to Mustang, OK just like a brand new car. The headlights even worked when it got dark. I drove between 65-90mph (75 most of the time). It only used 1/2qt oil round trip.

I was really planning on it. Haven't taken any vacation all year and my wife wanted to go to east coast to do some leaf peeping. Limited window to do it...so had to go.
