    Thanks for the nice comments. I actually used Photoshop to strip the color from some pictures I took with my digital camera. They have a timeless quality in black & white and there aren't many visual cues to tell you that it's 2010, not 1959.

    It was a fun trip and also fun sharing the pictures with my fellow wagon nuts.

    PS:

    If you convert your uploaded photos from GIF to JPG format, you can post much bigger images (y)

    Erik,

    Cool modification to the picture! Thanks!

    Actually, it started out as a large .jpg file. I condensed it to .gif for web posting.
