who has more guts than I do, about a trip I'm reluctant to take in the same kind of car.

Update, I made it all the way up to Michigan and back home to Florida.
Our trip was about 2600 miles long. It covered 7 states. In a T- Bucket with a ten gallon gas tank that is roughly 40 gas stops, lol. We spent a total of eight days driving, plus the weekend we spent in Michigan. I only had to stop twice for rain (We got wet several times), and was fortunate to have virtually zero mechanical problems. There were an uncountable number of people honking, waving, taking pictures, and asking questions at the gas stations.

My advice is, if you have any kind of hot rod or classic car you should take a trip similar to this. Make it happen. Find an excuse to go somewhere or visit someone. It was much more fun than hanging out at a car show or making an ice cream run. What an awesome view of America we got to enjoy. I didn’t plan any of my overnight stops ahead of time. When I’d had about enough driving for the day I would just start watching for a decent looking old fashioned motel. Most of those are very affordable, and you can park your car right outside of your room, with a car cover on it. Two of the nights were spent at relatives houses. That made for nice visits and free accommodations.

I drove by myself from Florida to Michigan. On the return trip back to Florida my wife rode with me. We did zero miles of freeway driving. We took backroads and highways the entire way. We occasionally cruised at 75 MPH, but most of the time ran somewhere around 55 MPH. We passed through many, many small, cool looking, historic old towns along the way. Some of the best scenery was found on the curvy mountain roads of Tennessee and Kentucky. Also in that area I was blown away by the number of 1940’s and 50’s cars still sitting out in fields and backyards. You just don’t see that in my part of the world.

As far as specific roads, from St. Petersburg, Florida up to near Atlanta I took Highway 19. Most of that road is a four lane, very smooth, wide, and with light traffic. Easy driving. From there, I let my phone with Google Maps guide me up through Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I turned on the “avoid highways” feature. Starting in Southern Indiana I took US - 127 up through Ohio and Michigan. This road is dotted with historic small town America and many farms. It does get pretty bumpy once you cross the Michigan border, lol.
