We left Rockford, IL this morning at 7:30. Got hot about 11 AM, turned on the AC, the Vintage Air was kicking out ice cubes, kept us very comfy! This is the first Vintage Air AC for me, I have used Airtique and Old Air, this unit really works good! We drove 400 miles and made 4 antique stores, not a bad day. Tonight we are in Richmond, IN about 80 miles east of Indy. Got a room at my favorite hotel, The Knights Inn, nice rooms, non smoking, king bed, can park right by the door, coffee pot, microwave, fridge, continental breakfast and all for $50.00, my kind of place!!
Down the road about 80 miles is a HUGE antique store, called Heart of Ohio, we will spend some time there in the morning. The car is running great, a pleasure to drive.Gas is running 3.45/gal. Talk to you all later.

Dale & Elvis,
Glad to hear things are going well. Since you're stopping at Heart of Ohio tomorrow, Barb & I can relate, as we've been there with you guys before. Hope you have no problems with the SD. How about some pix along the way? Keep up the daily posts as we'll be following your blog through your trip.

Good that you guys had another safe trip and that fun was had by all, with no major car problems, aside from a few water leaks. It dries.... Little by little the bugs are getting taken care of in our 41. Hope to have the last of them eliminated before the Columbus Cruise in July. The "Ratster" is going to make it's debut at Back to the 50's this year! Have a safe and fun trip to L.A as well as the Americruise and Streetrodder Cruise in the roadster.
