That's a beautiful set-up! I'd bet you'd spend more time stopping for pics and explanations than camping time!

Steve, you are right on.
My good bud and HS classmate found (in a field) and built a 1940 Chevrolet Sedan and made it into a pretty nice daily driver. The only thing that is '40 Chevrolet in the body and frame.
His story about what you mention goes like this...
"I'd show up at the rod run in downtown Spring Tx and park on the curb. It didn't take long for the questions and comments to start from the admirers of classic cars."
One day there appeared two young ladies (18-20) and they really loved the cars and one finally asked, "Have you had this long? Did you buy it new?"
Johnny simply answered, "nope, didn't buy it new because it's 'OLDRNME' but I have owned it since 1978 and the good thing is that I only owe one more payment."
The girls walked away speechless.

The Cussler Museum in Colorado has a similar Pierce Arrow duo.

I didn't know it was there!
We were in Colorado City and Vail just three weeks ago and we came within feet of this museum! Darn.
Jim, thanks for letting me know and I'll put it on my bucket list map.
