    Getting Ready for a Road Trip

    Cleaned her up today for a trip next week:



    But the bad news is, is that my '66 Samsonite luggage has bit the dust.



    With me through my Navy days, in 1969 it carried almost everything I owned in moving to a job in California from New York after I got discharged. It sat on the luggage rack as above, but I also had a few other things sitting in the back along with the folded convertible top. I guess I was a hippy in those days, but what hippy had a 67 Corvette

    Actually, the gorillas didn't do in my '66 Samsonite. my wife did. For my last birthday, my wife got me a 2009 Samsonite in the closest color to Marina Blue that you will ever find. So the '66 Samsonite is now relegated to the basement. Here's the new one:



    With the new one, I don't even have to unload the rack to get some gas.

    See you guys in Tahoe next week and on the Eastern Road tour (from Barstow) in July.

    John Seeley, give us a report, are you going to be in Tahoe next week with new trailing arms.

    Just having fun ,

      Gerald I still have the old Samsonite just like yours that has traveled coast to coast on my 70.
      Installed my 70's luggage rack after owning my new 70 for five years for the upcoming travel.
      Thought about removing the luggage rack in 1990 when I stripped/painted my 70 but decided against it because of the possibility of the repaired hole locations showing up in the repaint.

          Gerard like you my wife and I when we travel to vintage trailer shows , Corvette shows or out of state shows we take along our tear trop trailer . The 55 runs and drives like it's not even there, taking it to Tahoe next week also because the trunk of a 55 don't hold much more then a extra pair of shoes , plus taking some swap meet items. See you there.

            Jerry,

            Happy to report the car is back on the ground and driving! Yes I will see you in Tahoe on Thursday. (couldn't get Wednesday off). Thanks to all for the help on my trailing arm issues. Very much looking forward to a 500 mile trip in my "new" baby.
