2022 is an eventful year for us. I completed assembling Connie in late April and in May we drove her to Palm Springs for the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club National Meet.
The sky was blue and the morning air crisp as we headed for I-5 South from our Martinez home. Connie drove perfectly and rode like a dream the full 500 miles to Palm Springs. Read more about the adventure here in an article I wrote for the LCOC.
Just rolling down the highway in our beautiful Lincoln Premiere!
We arrived just before dusk with miles of smiles.
We toured Sunnylands Center and Gardens with the club. Beautiful!
The club hosted a lunch at Shields Date Gardens.
No trip to the SoCal desert would be complete, especially with Connie, without stopping at my grandparents former house
Getting Connie shined up for the show field.
Connie scored an amazing 92 points at her first showing since restoration.
Connie's place on the show field was in front of course-side condos of the first hole.
