Model A Touring Club members from all over the US and Canada congregated today (Sept. 24, 2019) in Milwaukee, WI, for the start of the Great Lakes Tour. This first day was relaxed and people who didn’t come in the night before gradually joined us. Check out the cars in the hotel parking lot: By…
Sometimes getting to the start of a tour is almost as much fun as a tour. Here are shots from the Hulstroms and the Krills as they worked their way from California to Wisconsin: And here are shots from Padgett and Burbank, also working their way from California to Wisconsin: But the fun really starts…
The tour Jay just finished was the Lincoln Highway recreation of the 1919 first military convoy across the US. Our car, Maxi, is a 1931 town sedan and she was dressed up in her military garb to fit the theme of that tour. She was the only Model A on that tour. Now they're home.…

DAY 9 – Council Bluffs, IA to Kearney, Nebraska. Highlights from the day: Father Flannigan’s Boy’s Town, interrupting a small town parade – notice the FLUTES, and both Charlie and Jay getting “tickets": Those cookies at the lower left hand corner have the Lincoln Highway emblem. You'll see more of that emblem later... DAY 10…
Tour Day #5 (9/4/19) – from Van Wert, OH to Valparaiso, IN. Judging from the photographs I received, I’m not sure Jay followed the day’s itinerary. This was his first day with Charlie Enxuto, photo and travel buddy. From the photos, it looks like they spent the entire day at the Auburn Cord and Duesenberg…
This post starts on August 31, 2019, and I'll try to describe tour highlights as the cars retrace the route of the US Army and Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower as they crossed America in the summer of 1919, just after the end of World War I. Tour Day 1: Washington DC to Gettyburg, PA.…
Hi! Did you think I fell off the edge of the earth? Well, while Jay's been driving back and forth across the country, I've been stuck at home dealing with e-device issues! Isn't technology fun? Let's see, when I last posted, I believe Jay and George were on their way to Durham, NC, with an…
Finally! Maxi the military Model A, along with Jay and George, are back on track, working their way toward Washington DC. The goal for Tuesday night is Durham, NC (411 miles). But first the guys spent a little more time with Jack and Carol, and Jay fell in love with some of Jack's wood. Think…
Maybe Maxi the military Model A needs to go back to boot camp? She’s certainly not following a direct route from California to Washington DC for the start of the Lincoln Highway recreation of the first military convoy across the U.S. OK, we understand a Southern deviation to see family, but NOW what? As you…
