And that's a stocker/driver.  Added OD and drives it everywhere.  Nice transport for the instruments and equipment of a Bluegrass musician.

De Luz Road in the hills between Fallbrook and Temecula.  Kinda parallel to I-15

Looks like an interesting area for an old car drive. And not horribly far from where I am. I'll have to explore in that direction.

 

It looks like it winds in and out of Camp Pendleton. Do you cross checkpoints that require ID, etc. on the way?

 

Thanks!

I've driven that route several times and was never aware we were entering or exiting Camp Pendleton..

This one is from the passenger seat but still cool to me. Blasting down the back roads of central Alberta in my buddy Dale's 54 Olds with canola fields on either side, not much of a stretch to imagine that it's the 50's.

I have a coupla car buds and we have breakfast together quit often.  Steve asked me to drive his 41 pickup because he was particularly pleased with the transmission that was recently rebuilt.  Before the cruising was over, the three of us had all swapped to the others cars.  What a hoot and what a great idea it was. 

If you feel good enough about your car and have friends you trust, it's a new dimension to enjoy.  Maybe the best part is seeing your car on the road, as others see it.  However too, it's a great opportunity to enjoy the seat of the pants experience of anothers' ride.  

I am going to propose this to others in the future.

I think I've been on that road.  Nuthin like the back roads and the view from an old car.

Northbound hwy 35, 5 miles north of 84 (Alice’s Restaurant) headed toward 92. 

And you’re exactly right, nothing like the view of the road through a split windshield with the hood ornament leading the way.

I envy all you guys in southern California. You can drive your old cars year round. Here in New England we get about 7 months of driving weather.  My Dodge has been in the garage "resting" since Dec 1, except for a brief run on New Years day.
