These pictures wre taken on the road trip to Anchorge Alaska last year, 1400 miles as the crow flies. We had to cross through Canada and the Yukon to attend a show in the same state. :shock:

Any dirt you see in these photos is real.

One of my dreams is to one day drive up the full length of the American/Canadian west coast all the way into Alaska.

Cool side stripe. Cross between the T/A and AAR stripes.
Is that custom of is it available somewhere?

Cool pictures Barry. Great place to be,I'm sure. I spoke to William Vissing today. He says he put some pictures in the mail to me of the dealership from the very late 60's. I'll be in contact with you once I get them. I'll put copies or something together. Patrick

Hey Dave,
You would enjoy it for sure, but there is not a "true" coatal road the whole way due to the moutains and terrain. Fom Vancouvr BC Canada you would have to head inland, and that would connect with the route we took. Since I am on an islald with no bridges to the mainland, we had to put the car on a ferry as far as Haines, then drive up from there. On the way back we drove to Skagway and took the ferry home from there.

The stripe was custom made, but I am not happy with it. The local sign company scanned in a set of T/A stripes I had, and they are way off. They do not follow the body lines well, they are two short top to bottom and more. Do they look red? They were supposed to be red. Man I was hot that day. :evil:

I am working with Performace Car Graphics to do them though, I suppose if enough folks wanted them that David would make them available?

Patrick,
Very cool, thanks! I would love to see them. :-)
