Gus -

Sounds like a great adventure! When I go out of town (nothing as long as your trip) I set the GPS in my phone to avoid highways and tolls. I hardly ever reach 55, although the old truck pulls at the reins wanting to go faster. My '54 has a stock 235 with a 1951 4:11 rear end. Runs cool. Cars are occationally backed up behind me but they always find a way around. You will be much safer by driving at your own pace, keeping your eyes on the road ahead, and not worrying about the cars behind you.

Funny:
"Wayne67vert" in his '38 1-ton farm truck, "Jeannie" in her '53 3600, and I drove to the Florida GABFEST in Daytona last month on a beautiful two-lane road at about 45-50mph. WE WERE PASSED BY A SMART CAR. How embarrassing!!!

Have a safe and a wonderful trip.
