Rt 66- Round 2
Well, Ol Blue is on another adventure.
Left NE Ks this morning and made it to El Reno Ok to pick up Rt 66 again. About 360 mi. Ate famous Fried Onion Bergers at Sid's Diner on the Rt.
Heading for Amarillo along 66 tomorrow. So far so good.

In addition to driving Rt. 66, we met up with the N Texas, New Mexico, and Colo. regions of the CLC for their Cadillac Ranch Inter-Regional meet. We made it to Amarillo Fri. afternoon. This was a very well organized, well run event with lots of things planned. Toured the Cadillac Ranch, ate at the Big Texan steakhouse, toured a couple classic car places, and drove down Palo Duro Canyon where we watched the play Texas. We caravanned to all these places with a '41 Fleetwood leading the way. There was one other '63 - Deville convertible from the Denver area. My thanks to Rubye Musser, Nick Manol and all the CLC members for making us feel welcome.
Ol Blue clicked off the miles at 65-70 with no problems. After the meet we decided to head further west on Rt 66. Man, there's not a lot out there in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico. We drove Interstate at most for about 40 minutes, all 2 lanes the rest of the way.
There were some pretty neat places like the U Drop Inn in Shamrock Tx. A beautifully restored vintage gas station, café and gift shop.
Magnolia Station in Vega, Tx.
We continued west to Tucumcari New Mexico and I decided Ol Blue didn't need to go any further west. We left Rt 66 and headed up Hwy 54 across a lot of flat nothing in NM, Tx., Ok. to Liberal Ks.
Made it back to Rossvile Ks Monday evening. 1497 miles. Great trip, great people, lots of fun

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
