[Fot] Stupid road trip

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been looking for a big stupid 
station wagon to cart magazines around with and even tow my Trimuph to local 
events.

Unfortunately, I have found said wagon, a 1959 Edsel Villager and it is in 
Santa Ana, CA. One of the guys that works for me is in LA right now and 
instead of flying back, he is driving it to Scottsdale today and picking me up. 
I have been at the auctions, hustling magazines. From there we are driving 
the Edsel to Florida.

Tomorrow we head east following I-10. I think we will look for some back 
roads that run nearby. So, do any of you live along I-10 between Phoenix, AZ 
and Jville, FL? Are any of you crazy enough to help us, or even let us into 
your home's should we call you with a problem? Hey, what could possibly go 
wrong with a 50 year old car that we have never drivin before? And perhaps 
most importantly, what cool junkyards are between here and home that might have 
that 1500 Spitfire hood that I have been looking for or the trim pieces I 
still need for Margie's 63 Corvair, or even some Edsels?

Thanks and wish me luck!
