Today I took my 3a for a 66 mile drive through back roads in my county (Loudoun County, VA). This was a fund raising event to raise awareness for mens health. It was for vehicles older than 1980. I do believe that I had the oldest in the group. 20 had registered but after a month long...

It was a beautiful day in the DC area, so I decided to drive around a bit. Stopped to take some pics.

A friend sent me the link to this 1955 Luis Marx CJ2a metal model on marketplace. So I picked it up. The color is a lot like our 3a. I might add some Christmas decorations to it for the season.

Hey everyone. I have been going to the Leesburg Cars and Coffee for the past few weeks. This past weekend was very well attended. As the weather gets better, I am assuming it will get even bigger. I would love to see some other flat fenders out there. Who wants to show up? it is at the...
