I left Shell Beach at 6:20 this morning in my '55 Nomad. I arrived in El Centro, CA at about 2:00 pm. It was a cool 52 degrees in Pismo when I left. It was 104 degrees when I got to El Centro. A total of about 400 miles. I averaged 70-75 mph. traffic was moderate even through LA. Stopped at Bob's Big Boy near Yucaipa, south of San Bernardino.
Driving by the Salton Sea south of Palm Springs I stopped to help a couple going north. They were towing a 1957 Ford Fairlane and their tow bar broke. They were on their way from Yuma AZ to Mojave in the middle of Death Valley. I found a U-Haul office for them and continued on my way south.
The car ran beautifully and actually ran better when the car temp got up to 180. No AC in my car but an open window was all the AC I needed.
