Default Bakersfield EV8 meet
I was able to attend two days of the meet at Bakersfield. I met up with John Mason and Frank Miller, so I guess we were the East Coast reps. I got to ride along with them on a couple of tours. The first day tour was to a private collection.
The second day tour was to the Sunset Migratory Labor camp. On the way back something punctured the right rear tire. We ended up changing it a block away from the host hotel. In the hotel lot a 40 Coupe was being tended to. from the position the owner was working I assumed there was a starter issue.
All in all it was a great time, although too short.

Pat, I have many pictures taken during the Bakersfield Meet but could not post them here from my iPhone. They are however all posted on Facebook. They have a much easier system for posting many large pixel pictures very quickly.

What an incredible assemblage of beautiful Fords! Never saw so many convertibles and pick-ups in one place at one time! Guess I lead a very sheltered life! Thank you for sharing!

No Frank was driving when the flat occured, but it was still my falt according to Frank. He claimed there was way too much weight on the passenger side.
