In 1933, my father and a friend hitchhiked from California to Chicago to see the World’s Fair, then returned to the West Coast for free by signing on with a group of drivers to shuttle new cars from Detroit to San Francisco. Each driver drove a car and towed another, according to my dad’s notes.

A couple of photographs from that drive are among a small set of apparent favorite pictures that I recently found among his papers. These pictures were set aside in an envelope along with a typed page of captions. I haven’t yet had a chance to get his comments on them, but I’ll try to do that the next time I stop in at the nursing home to visit.

Just click on this photo to view this section of his favorites.
