My wife and I decided to visit Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI, a roughly 240-mile round trip, which equates to roughly 20 gallons of 89 octane for the Thunderbird at its typical 12-miles-per-gallon rate of combustion.

We returned home on about six and a half cylinders. This year, I drove the ’63 T-Bird to its spiritual home and the place of its birth, Dearborn and Wixom, MI, respectively. Because most of my seven-car fleet is effectively stored beginning in November, my intention is always to provide a last hurrah for me and my beloved old cars for the driving season. September and October are the best months for such adventures, as the weather is crisp and destinations, both natural and man-made, are abundant.

A few weeks ago, I shared some images from a recent October road trip in another Ford product, my ’65 Mustang.
