    Finally... Taking my 66 on Route 66!

    After Albuquerque, we went to Flagstaff, Kingman, Oatman, and Havasu City. This morning was Newberry Springs and Barstow and then back up to Northern California. After completing 2,481 carefree miles, I now have a new appreciation for the old Chrysler. We're looking forward to many more...

    Finally... Taking my 66 on Route 66!

    Excellent! They seem to be well balanced as we have exceeded 80 mph on a couple occasions, and I haven't experienced any vibration. We did hit some heavy rainstorms along the way, and the old Chrysler felt solid with good traction. And yes... the ride is nice and smooth.

    Finally... Taking my 66 on Route 66!

    The Meteor Crater was brought up at our dinner last night with the group we are caravaning with. I think that will be added to the list for today. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Finally... Taking my 66 on Route 66!

    We flew into Saint Louis on Thursday and the New Yorker was waiting for us. After visiting with friends for two days, we hit the road yesterday (Sunday). The Chrysler drove like a dream and glided from Saint Louis to Joplin. Great sites and fun times so far. High point was Uranus Mo, but...

    Finally... Taking my 66 on Route 66!

    Well.... It's been a year in the planning and many things have changed. Originally my wife and I were going to drive the New Yorker to Chicago and then follow as much of the historic route 66 back to California. That was before we knew that we had a new granddaughter showing up the same week...

    Which AC compressor. RV2 or Sandon on my 66 New Yorker

    I’m looking forward to the ice cold air! My buddy who has been in the HVAC business for 30 years still has a good inventory of R12 in his coffers….

    Which AC compressor. RV2 or Sandon on my 66 New Yorker

    Well after a lot of thought, help and advice from all of you as well as my classic car buddies, I decided that I'm going to stick with the RV2 set primarily to keep the stock look and nostalgia of the original equipment. I pulled the trigger and ordered a rebuilt compressor from a reputable...

    Which AC compressor. RV2 or Sandon on my 66 New Yorker

    I'll look into that.. I have a 1968 early bronco that has an upgraded blower from another vehicle. It was close to a direct fit and really boosted the air flow. It would be nice if something like that is available for my New Yorker.

    Which AC compressor. RV2 or Sandon on my 66 New Yorker

    I agree... Last summer when my compressor was working good, the AC was blowing ice cold but the fan speed seemed a bit lackluster. It would be great if there was a way to get a more powerful fan.

    Which AC compressor. RV2 or Sandon on my 66 New Yorker

    My local car buddies are swaying me towards keeping it stock. One of them is a HVAC guy and has a stock of R12. I really like the stock look, but also want to be comfortable in the summer.
