Early Birds Magazine Article --- January /
February 2011 Issue
5 PSEB Members and their spouse drove The
Mother Road in late September and Early October, 2010. There
was 1 '56 T-Bird, 3 '57 T-Bird's and 1 2004 'V-Bird' [a Volvo as the
owners '57 broke down with a collapsed rear spring in Seattle].
After 23-25 different hotels rooms on 23 -25 different nights and
6500 miles, we made it back to Seattle. The trip went from
Seattle to Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier and back to Seattle.
The only casualties were: a broken generator, which was
replaced with an alternator ('56 T-Bird), a power window motor and a
thermostat (the same '57), a broken rear spring (another '57), a
collapsed rear sprint (another '57 and they took the V-Bird), and a
muffler/header crack (another '57). There was some damage done
to the cars, a hit and run in the parking lot in Amarillo, and some
apparent vandalism (an attempt to steal the T-Bird Logo) in
Oklahoma. Not bad for almost a month on the road. You
can read all about it in the
Early Bird
Magazine.

Lead Article by Gordon Thorne
(Page 10 of the CTCI Mar/Apr)
outlined the events our club in 2008. The webmaster
particularly enjoyed the photo of the Starmist Blue '57 (License
Plate: IMSMILN). Just like the days with the car was
new, who wants to sit next the window when you can sit next to your
guy. Unfortunately, no 'neckers knob', but she knows how to
shift when the driver works the clutch. . . . .
