Old Blue ran 694 miles round trip effortlessly, and without a problem. The only disappointment for me was when I saw the chopped coupe with a chevy engine was allowed to go in with the original A's. There was another sedan there that had a 289 and an automatic in it, but the outside looked close to original, and it seemed the driver had a medical condition that would not let him shift gears, so....in my books, he gets a pass.
Is the fact that the early Fords are an icon of more than one genre a bad thing? Had it been a Deuce museum...
