Ambler-Becker Texaco Station in Dwight, Illinois. Built in 1933 and operated until 1999, giving it the distinction of being one of the oldest continually operated service stations on Route 66.

Rod Saboury’s garage?

Looks a little different down there now, not that the pic above was taken at the same place.

I hope to be flying Crazy Horse with Lee Lauderback sometime early next spring if all goes according to plans. A once in a lifetime opportunity and one more off the bucket list. He will climb to 3000' and then turn the controls over to me and allow me to perform several aerobatic maneuvers for about 30 minutes. There are several video cameras on board plus I will have a couple of my own. Needless to say, there will be a lot of practicing between now and then.

----I see Rod's name on the Camaro.....Bill S

Rick, please post that video when you get to make the flight.

Will do. I have been watching videos of other people who have taken the ride and controls and it is pretty awesome what they get to do. Very excited so see it finally happen.

Yup the lighting is messing with you.

A.O. Smith added the fiberglass parts.

The rear valence is metal and appears to be royal maroon which would have been painted prior to the car getting there.
The underside of the trunk lid shows royal maroon which they also installed.

It's quite easy to tell if these cars are still original paint as all the fiberglass parts show a little different shade.....especially as the years rolled on.

Regarding Crazy Horse, here is a video taken several years ago of someone else's flight.

----I sound like I know everybody on earth sometimes, but It's just that I've been around a looong time and was interested in anything with either two or four wheels. I knew Silva, and went to his shop just north of Boston a couple of times. That would precede Motions involvement, but he was a very inventive guy and had time to explain to a youngster like me what was going on. I'm pretty sure he also pioneered the Corvette station wagon as a local guy to me sent his car up there in 69/70 for that (dubious) modification!.....Bill S
