ROAD TRIP REDUX
Hot Rod
|October 2023
Two former staffers take a HOT ROD project car on its second cross-country adventure.

“You’re driving it back from LA to
Detroit?” I asked.
Will said, “Sure, why not?”
“Who is going with you?” I asked, although I already knew the answer.
“Just me right now … ” Will said, with a long pause at the end that he later admitted was fully intentional.
“I’ll go with you,” I said. I could tell he wanted me to come along but didn’t want to impose by asking.
Then I said, “You know, I’ve never spent any time in a roadster— let alone driving 1,700 miles!” Perhaps I was already subconsciously looking for a way out.
That’s when Will said, “What could go wrong?
It’ll be fun!” It was entertaining and a whole lot more. This now ranks among my most cherished road trips, tucked right next to my first longrange road adventure in my abused Chevelle, driving from Iowa to Los Angeles in the winter of 1979 with maybe a hundred dollars in my pocket, a cute blonde in the right seat, and the dream of landing a job at Car Craft magazine.

RESURRECTED
Not every great idea nails it on the first try. Henry Ford designed and built nine vehicles before perfecting his formula with the Model T, and the Corvette didn't even offer a V-8 engine until its third model year.

SUPER FANS OF THE SUPERVAN
The party was over. The fun was done. That was the familiar refrain for the U.S. auto industry in the early ’70s, as several socially and federally driven changes meant high compression, and hood scoops gave way to compact cars and catalytic converters.

ROBIDA
Early in my career of slinging words and capturing moments for automotive publications, this New Jersey guy (me) was asked by a local car enthusiast if I was ever going to pack up my home, my cars, and my gear and head to the “epicenter” of the classic car hobby, which this guy insisted was in Southern California.
