This is Gary the owner of Gap Parita. He bought this from his brotherinlaw 5 years ago after retiring as train robber from Knotts Berry Farm. We spent 1&1/2 hours listening to his stories and tips on route 66 after he gave us all a route 66 root beer...

Wish we could have went the whole way with you guys.

We met some new people the three days we traveled with you guys.

That's what these cars are all about. Fun, good friends, and fellowship.

Thanks to Jim & Kathy for inviting us on there vacation.

The rest of the story regarding Lowell Davis and Red Oak II,

Some of you may remember a magazine from the late 60s and early 70s named "Sex to Sexty". It was a comic book style magazine that was pretty racey. Sort of an r-rated version of Mad Magazine. Lowell Davis was the illustrator for that magazine but used the name Pierre on his artwork to avoid the evil stares and gossip in his small town. He's now well known and the town loves him but in the early days would have been tarred and feathered if they knew what he was doing. A picture of Lowell and some of his cover artwork is below. Do a Google search for Lowell Davis, Red Oak, MO when you get a chance and you will find some of his amazing work. The crapduster is only one of a few.

Michael T and Kim,
Thank you for the lunch and the time you spent with us. It was lot of fun helping you to break-in that pretty car of yours.

Wildcat,
I'm sorry I missed saying goodbye to you and Sue before you left but my extra side trip to Elkhart to see relatives had to take be done. It was good to get together with you both again. Your car and that new garage really looked nice.

GoatBob,
It was fun showing you the sights while we traveled through your longtime home. Sorry about the turtle spots on your paint. Well heck! You needed to clean that car anyways.

Larry ? I didn't mean to leave you out but I cannot remember your last name. Inca Gold that we met at the Blue Whale. Nice guy but just way too responsible to take a week or two off to run away with us.

Monahan,
You missed it. There's nothing more to say.

Jim Alexander,
We found you and your red car on our trip near the Devil's Elbow. Now take the time to register and make a post telling us more about your hometown.

Gary @ Gary Parita,
Someday I want to be just like you.

That's Malibu Vince on the left, watching "The Creature from the Black Lagoon".
It's a pretty scarey movie!
