Hey All,
For my summer internship with the Historic Vehicle Association (www.historicvehicle.org) I went along on the 2012 Hemmings Motor News Great Race. The 2300 mile race began in Traverse City, Michigan and wound its way North and then East through Ontario, back down into the States in New York, through Pennsylvania, Ohio and concluded in Dearborn, MI at the Henry Ford Museum!

We began the race in a 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 that was aptly named "Miss Adventure." The car was obviously a V8 but had the very rare option of being backed by a three speed manual transmission. As cool as this was it would lead to our eventual exit as many problems existed within the shift mechanism in the column.

Living up to its name, we didn't make it too far into the race before its continued mechanical problems put us out of the race.

Despite this, we continued following along on the race in our Promo vehicle, photographing the event and doing video's for our This Car Matters movement.

Check out these pictures I took and if you would like to see more, head on over to our Facebook page!
