We thank those who attended the tour. Fifty-three cars, containing 97 drivers and passengers, gathered at the Burkittsville (MD) Ruritan Club, and embarked onto a route that proved to be 67 miles long. Later, 73 people partook of a tasty buffet dinner at the Blue Ridge Vol. Fire & Rescue in Bluemont, VA. The weather was dry but hot, so a few people drove their modern iron. We had all manner of orphan makes represented: AMC (several models), Corvair, Crosley, DeSoto, Kaiser, Mercury, MG, Oldsmobile, Packard, Plymouth, Pontiac, Saab, Studebaker, Thunderbird, and Willys (Jeepster). The Tour is a cooperative effort of five Maryland / Virginia / Pennsylvania chapters of national "orphan" clubs.
