"Catch That Car"

[grey beard]

Don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've got the peddle to the meddle, but up hill or down, can't seem to catch up to that blasted coupe. It's about the same age as my Pilothouse, so we've both got flatheads, unless he's repowered his. Oughta' be able to catch him, since my enguine's brand new.

Looks like an out-of-state tag . . . . . . New York, from the looks of it - can't get close enough to see for sure. Prolly' one of them blasted tourists here in Amish country . . .

P.S. Greg, Please tell Cathy thanks for the neat picture.

Dave, that picture is somewhat familiar.

Here I am chasing that 'almost world famous' truck from Monticello, MN

And here's how it looks once you get ahead.

I end up scraping bugs off my back window everytime I drive mine! I could probably catch the buggy if we were headed downhill. Life is great at 42 mph! I know how you feel-a guy I went to high school with has a 28 Model A he's had since we were in school. Its original, and I'll be damned if I can catch him from a standing start with my 36 Plymouth.

Yupp . . . the old stock 4:10 rear, but I have pretty tall tires - 225 x 85.16's. Sure wish i could find a 3:54 to put in there. That'd be sweet. She'll go 60, but she's pretty "busy."

Driving that coupe sure was a sweet experience - much smoother than the truck. Musta' been that second carbonater, what?
