Drove my 56 Sunliner to work today because it's a nice day here in eastern PA, yes, with the roof down!

Weather, and the number of collector cars to maintain weigh into how much they get driven at my house.

My mileage goes all over the place. For two years (not in a row) I put over 6000 miles om one of my cars - Coast to coast trips and back.

Great pic Mercman, don't know if I have ever seen an all yellow 56 sunliner, sure looks good! My 56 sunliner is all fiesta red. I have seen a couple of others that are single tone fiesta red, but not many. Most sunliners seem to be tu-tone. Thanks for the pic.

Only about 200 miles per year. Just have too many other things going on.

'67 Cobra 427-550 hp... In the last 4 years, I've put a little over 700 miles
on it.
It's a cop magnet, and I like to test the accelerator pedal, to see if it works,
fairly often, so I only drive it 3 to 4 times a month, on nice sunny days.

I have always heard that you can really feel the acceleration in the Cobra...if you can get it to hook.

hi Gene, the rear suspension has got traction built right into it,
and the big N-50-17 Pro Trac tires bite right in to the pavement, too
Ya got to buckle up tight in the 5 point harness.
