Man! You sure know how to see and do a lot of great stuff and hang out with some cool people,” said a close friend on my return to New Zealand after a month in the USA. Having recently sold a Model A Tudor to fund the trip, the idea was to attend more bucket list events with my own car. My project 29 Model A pickup currently lives at Squeak Bell’s shop in Bakersfield. Thanks to him, the logistics of keeping the car there and also staying there are simplified.
This trip was a great one — well, they always are — starting with the 30th California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, then the Celebration of Life for the late Pat Ganahl, the NHRA Nevada Nationals
