james49ply Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) heading from Tampa Florida to Montgomery Alabama in the early am. I will be traveling all back roads like the old times. I will let you know how she ran. Changed oil, used full synthetic, filter, grease all the usual checks before going on a trip, even washed it! The nickname for car came from a restorer here in town that calls it that every time I go by his shop. Edited November 23, 2010 by james49ply Quote

Suddensix Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 My first car way back in 1956 was a 48 Plymouth that was the same colour grey. Guess what it was called, "The Grey Ghost." Have a fun trip. Quote
