Saturday was a fun day at the flea market. We left about 3 PM for the drive to Chippewa Falls, a good drive. We had a quick supper then went to the fairgrounds to drive in the cruise. The drive had about n60 cars, went on for 1 and 1/2 hours, very scenic, good time. We ended at the Culvers for half price dessert. From there we were invited to Paul Oman's private collection...wow what a collection. He had four buildings full of cars, parts and cool stuff. I think there were something like 33 cars and tons of parts...all old Ford stuff. There was a Lincoln Zephyr, several Model A's, a couple of shoe box Fords, several 40's, a convert, 4 door, pickup. Several 37's a 36 a 40 Chevy, a 58, 55, 56 chevy, a F100, Ford tractor, 35 p/up, a sprint car, Henry Ford's 35 school bus and more. Several 34's one Deuce...finally! Tons of parts, just hard to describe it all. We were there almost 2 hours!!
Sunday we went to the fairgrounds to the swap and show, over 400 cars, lots of vendors, another fun day.
At 3 PM we drove to Madison, 170 miles, nice drive. Both cars are running great. It has been a good trip so far, I think Nystrom's are having a good time too. We are in a La Quinta tonight, a really NICE hotel. Tomorrow we will be heading to Indy, staying at another LaQuinta there, plans are to go to the Indy 500 museum and take some photos by the front gate.
