Someday I am going to put colored pins in a map showing all the break downs on major road trips and what was being driven using different colors for different cars. Kind of a Joe Leaphorn map. (You guys read Hillerman?) What ever the color for GM 6s there won't be many of them.
My dad was a big time MOPAR flathead six fan but we broke some stuff on 66. We spent several days at Lake Tahoe in '52 waiting for '49 Merc parts to come from Sacramento. Jake and I met some wonderful folks on our Studebaker powered Nevada/Texas trips. Stude parts were not plentiful in '01-'05 but good people came to our rescue every time we needed help. The more remote the breakdown the more gracious the helpers. Maybe we need a thread/link here of WHO YOU GONNA" CALL? if you are broken down in a strange town. I always carry an Inliners members roster, a Studebakers Drivers Club magazine,duct tape, and beer.
