Last summer was a Road Trip. I swerved off the Oregon highway at the sign promising a car and plane museum at the next exit. A few miles off the highway I found a great museum. WAAAM, or the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum, is in Hood River, Oregon. Has only airplanes that run and fly, and a lot of them, and a lot of very excellent cars, too. Here are is one of my favorite cars there.

I could not find any internet pics with these chrome fins. I found one what was much lower. Are these aftermarket?

I found this 1952 Pontiac west of Ft. Worth on a recent excursion. I asked my companion, Woody, what engine he thought the car had — the original flathead straight six or eight? After his investigation, he wasn’t really sure (he can’t read).

Pretty car with auto transmission and Pontiac (not Chevy) 400 cu. in. V8 giving either 335 or 340 hp.
