After logging 4,320 miles across 11 states in 8 whirlwind days, I finally made it home with my newest piece of American history. Because of the cost of diesel fuel I decided take my 26' motor home rather than my 45' coach. That consumes half as much fuel. However its' towing capacity is nearly the weight of my enclosed car hauler. Consequently day one of the trip included picking up a new 2,100 pound aluminum enclosed car hauler in Illinois. Three days and 5 states later I made the destination Arizona. Loaded the newest member of OldCarGuy's family.

A 1910 Fanders 20
Last year, I lost my lifelong friend. Remarkably, he with the guidance of his father, restored this Flanders when he was only 14. Because his wife wanted to ensure the car went to a responsible owner, she asked me to purchase it. Now also being an octogenarian, I'll ensure that the Flanders is handed down to my grandson...
