This Might Be Crazy........but
We've talked on the forum about that 1957 Plymouth that is buried in Tulsa, Ok. It is going to be dug up in June of 2007, and supposedly is going to be a big deal, and a lot of people from around the country have expressed interest in going. Are any of us going?
I am starting to entertain thoughts of going there via one of my rods, and wondered if anyone else would like to like to join the cruise and sort of create a "mini-Americruise ?" From here it is about 1500 miles, and we could coordinate it so we pick up member cars along the route. I have only flown into Oklahoma on business, years ago, so it would be kind of cool to drive there.
Obviously, since I just thought of this idea, I have no solid ideas yet, but just thought I would throw it out to see if anyone else wants to spend their vacation driving across America.

Sounds like fun trip. I will certainly consider it, so keep me posted if anything comes together.

I am tenatively in...depends on how my boat's running (my biscayne), and what life will be like in June since I will have a 2 1/2 month old baby by then...
Plus my wife makes all the decisions...
well, not ALL of the decisions...she didnt tell me what kind of cam to put in my motor or what type of carb to use...
Sounds like a great idea!

My birthday is June 12th, a wonderful present to myself this would be! We'll load up the teardrop trailer, hop in the coupe, and hopefully cruise up to Tulsa for this event! Would make an awesome roadtrip!Last edited by Peiceofpaper; 12-08-2006 at 10:25 AM.

Oh man, I like the idea of a teardrop trailer. Think I'll build one and pull it behind my '39 Dodge for the trip. Extra tools, etc could fit in there.
This thing might come together alright.

I just popped this into Mapquest. Oklahoma really isn't all that far. About 20 hours from me, and I'm pretty deep into Florida. This could be a nice little drive for us all.Last edited by Itoldyouso; 12-08-2006 at 10:45 AM.

Main reason for the teardrop is to have a place to fancibly haul around a spare 33x22.5x15 Mickey Thompson sportsman pro tire (mounted on a Weld Draglite), plus last time we went that way (went to Texas to pick up the Coupe), we got to Roswell, NM at like 11:30pm on July 3rd, and they had NO vacancy ANYWHERE, we slept in the truck that night at a truck stop, very uncomfortable. We're still deciding if we want to build a teardrop or buy one. Originally Posted by Itoldyouso

Mapquest says it'll take around 23 hours for me to get there (thats with stops in Phoenix and Tucson to visit family), of course, they're assuming im going to be driving a slow 70mph the whole time.

So there could be two or more groups traveling to Tulsa? Some heading West, and some going East.
That would be really cool to meet up there.
The more I drink, the better this idea seems. KIDDING, JUST KIDDING.

I'll have to talk to the wife but I'd like to go. We were talking about taking a trip on OLD 66 and that goes right there. This could be a bunch of fun though I don't know if I could afford the gas in the 53

"Great. We can ALL stay at YOUR place."
"What time is Breakfast?? "
We can all stay at 65Cayne's place, (he is closer to Tulsa than I am by at least 15 minutes) he says his wife makes all the decisions, she can decide what to feed us too.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
