HI Tom,
Before you hit the Museums, find some Goood Texas BBQ!  The New Toyota Tundra PickUp Assembly Plant. If you get to Kerrville, Tx. Bob Atwell has a Classic Car Museum, that is basically his Car Collection, that has a 1929 RR Springfield "Derby" Phaeton, Black in color, 1 of 6 built, only a handful left. My friend and mentor, Cal Zahn, owned that car for a long time before selling it to Bob Atwell. It still may be with the collection. If you get to Kerrville. I'll try to find out and let you know. YIA...Paul.

turns out the way i came was not near the mercedes plant! alabama is on th eeast side of the mississippi! durn. so i went to bill clinton's boyhood home in hope ark and his presidential library in little rock. a good stop for you clinton appreciators out there. we also stopped at an antique mall and i got a couple of books. one is a 70 to 79 chiltons imported car repair manual. it has extensive mb specs in it. so i am driving my 3/4 ton dodge truck with cummins, pulling the largest uhaul trailer available. so what is with folks who pull in about 10' in front of my bumper and slow down? are they crazy? but i avoided them and made it back safely. i really wanted to bump a couple of times though! oh yeah, the weather was just outstanding. i didnt put my long pants back on til this morning. and it is about 60 out right now! tom w
