Love it, my friend built a 34 Plymouth Limousine out of his original 34 and a 34 which I donated to his cause. Will see if I can find any pics of it. Also was at the send off for a gent leaving from dipping his wheels in the Atlantic Ocean in Nova Scotia to travel across Canada duplicating a trip made in 1908 by the REO co to launch its brand. He was leaving and headed to Vancouver Island to dip his wheels in the Pacific Ocean. He had a reporter riding with him and documenting the whole trip and posting progress daily. The car performed the feat effortlessly with no breakdowns. Quite a feat that even today's cars could struggle with. Got to shake his hand again as he passed through Winnipeg. Now around the world is pretty gutsy!! Thanks Dan!
This tours bring a lot of joy and not only to the pilots; the viewers love to see a so basic car making its job without problems.
Most of the time basic is better.
Jim, if you find any links or pics, it will be highly appreciated!
The amazing part is they started for fun and not in the purpose of a world record, but definitely they did it!
They started 16 years ago as a couple and all 4 children were born during the journey!
The only regret of the great Zapp man: "We should do it when I was 20 not 30!"
Aren't they lovely?
Thanks for the @Zeti, Dan!! And what a great pic of a very adventurous family! What an education for those children are getting. My boys still recall almost all the details from our European trip in 89 for a month plus a few extra days. JIM
I agree, they will never forget it.
A family which stick together like the fingers of a hand (+1!).
The funniest part is they don't have a dead line to stop the tour, but more likely to keep going as long their ride will keep running...
