Holiday Motor Excursion

Post by Original Smith » Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:38 pm

On December 26th, the Horseless Carriage Club of Southern California hosted their annual Holiday Motor Excursion. The tour is limited to cars built prior to 1933. About 100 cars of all years showed up at the starting point. The weather was great, and so were the drivers of the cars. We even had a couple of Dusenburgs show up, but no Jay Leno this year. As usual, Model T's and Model A's dominated. It was a swell tour, and everyone had a good time.

I drive a Model T ... Microseconds don't matter :D

For every Absolute Model T Fact there are at least three exceptions.

That's quite a tradition the Eastwood Brothers started years ago and to still be enjoyed by so many today. Pete your Father and Uncle were quite an inspiration for the club.

Noticeably there were less participants but there were top end Duesenbergs, Rolls-Royce and European cars... Besides many model A's and model t's

Amen! Spring will return soon to the mid west, where there are a lot of fine automobiles.

Here's the links to a couple of great videos. I always enjoy taking a look at any annual coverage of this event as their is always a heap of nice early T's and lots of other lovely brass cars to look at.
