Re: 57 Chevy Wagon - Californa Dreamin'

Mecum Transport Service showed up today at noon and loaded the wagon for the trip to the Dallas auction. We're scheduled to go thru on Friday afternoon. Our lot number is F133. I have mixed emotions about sending it on its way. I very much need the space and it's the most logical choice, but that doesn't make it any easier. I hope it does well, but there's not really any way to predict the outcome. If it doesn't sell (which Kathy would love) we'll bring it home and make an attempt to auction the GN. One way or the other, I need to free up a space to work on the Fairlane.

The info email Mecum sent me said the gas tank could be no more than 1/4 full, so I had to pop open the access panel and plumb in a hose to empty it some. Everything we own is now topped off - the cars, the lawn mower, the edger, the snow blower - you name it. But I got it down to a quarter tank. There for a bit, I was regretting installing that 25-gallon Chevy Blazer tank.
