Well after three years of work on my Dynamic 88 making sure it is safe and reliable ( to a point ). I am taking it on a 600 round trip mile adventure.
Some of the miles will be on country roads and thru hot areas of the upper midwest. Any suggestions on what emergency supplies I should take.
I have an emergency bag of supplies in my daily car. Anything we classic
Olds owners do differently.
Thanks for any ideas

This thread is pretty solid, i think there's been another one recently?

Lots of gas and a good camera

For sure. I feel like I am leaving home for the first time.The way I packed my supplies you would think it is a cross country trip. Should be fun. I will report back how the ole gal does.
Thanks

Thanks for the interest. It was Minn. to South Dakota. a little over 700 round trip miles.
Biggest fear was the 95 deg temps, some days it reached a 100. The car ran at normal temps at all times. I however did not run at normal temps, it was hot in the car when not
racing along over 30 mph.
I had to remind myself the big boat wasn't a sports car when entering those curves, screached the tires a few times and held on tight.
MPG on the trip was @ 12-15 I was very happy about that.
Stopped at a barn sale and in Southern Minn. and picked up a perfect hub cap and clock for my Dynamic 88.
Overall a good first road trip.
