Don't worry about not having a radio. The sound of that old flathead running and the gear box noises is all the music you need! Love the old cars, good luck on the trip.
The car he has I think isn't it a volkswagenen? But i'm really sure it wasn't destroyed after a few years he had been using that old car but I think it was made in the late 1960's i'm not sure much.
On longer trips, you can use fuel additives to clean valves, fuel system, etc....sometimes i do this just because i am going on a long trip, multi tank fulls. Something to think about.
Another great video Brian! I have a 51 Plymouth project and I have been building up to go on a partial Route 66 trip. So I have been creating a list as you are here in this video of long trip considerations. I will add some thought based on my building up process that you might consider as well. Long term my friends have added six volt radiator fans only as a precaution to the front of radiators, easy install and not permanent. Additionally, cheapie 6 volt supplemental fuel pumps added near fuel tank as a pusher pump to be used in emergency and or to be used to save battery power when starting/priming the carb. We have found also that the somewhat pricey Optima battery is a nice add to our old systems...they last real well and in a pinch will crank the starter much longer than a traditional battery (since you have a chrysler too, having an optima to share between the two cars could be helpful) . While its nice to hear the engine for hours on end it is also nice to have a cheapie Bluetooth cordless radio...love it. Not sure about your car but i was not happy with how bright my tail/brake lights are from a visibility and safety standpoint so you might make sure you have the brightest lightbulbs avail and good grounds. Also, dont forget to bring a wheel chock in case you have to park on a big hill because you want too, or because you have to! Ha. Just a couple things to consider based on my experience. Enjoy that trip and hope you are in a car club that you can do more of those trips, enjoy
This sounds like so much fun, Keith. I am fortunate to live near the old US Highway 52 in Minnesota and it is still intact for all of the stretches that I want to drive on.
Dear Keith, I really enjoy your videos. I have a 1938 that I have been working on and it is very similar to yours. I live in Pennsylvania and will get it finished over the winter. I am getting the seats upholstered presently. I'm keeping it six volt. I just rewired most of the car. Please keep the videos coming and I look forward to seeing part two of your trip. Yes these older cars are really neat. Have a safe trip and thanks so much.
Please Keith-waiting for the roadtrip in the 38. Talked to you over on the P15-D24 forum a while back. Take lots of GoPro footage thru the windshield. Thanks for all of the videos so far!
My wife and I took our 37 Plymouth on a trip to Liverpool England. It was 254 miles round trip. We were to be in a movie series, Das Boot. Our Miss Daisy preformed without indecent up there but during filming, at night, the alternator tension adjustment broke. I had brought my tools with me and quickly made a temp repair that is still good 1 year later. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on. Window defrosting. Mine doesn't work so I crack the front windshield just a little and open the wing window a small amount. That seems to take care of any fogging inside. I look forward to your next video.
Sounds like a neat opportunity to be in the movies. This morning my wife and I completed a 135 mile (217 KM) trip in the '38. Was a great, hot summer day. Ice Cream was featured of course.

Old addage from 1962, we drive torque, but the car salesman sells horsepower. Very true! I look forward to your videos 👍👍
