Monday morning I departed Issaquah and headed south to Portland, incorporating a couple of quick stops at McChord AFB and Camp Murray (the Washington National Guard’s headquarters installation). From Portland, down OR 18 through Tigard to Lincoln City and a couple of nights with daughter No. 1 and three of the grandkids. And yes, a large time was had by all, constant rain/drizzle notwithstanding (then again, unlike the current situation in St Louis, none of the freeways and roads up here in the Northwest are flooded. Hoo-hah, what a mess back home).
Anyway, went barreling through Newberg, roughly halfway to the coast, saw some really nice classic cars, pulled on in and got the camera out. Discovered I’d stumbled across the Oregon showroom of American Classics & Hotrods. Wow, what a collection of vehicles…besides the ’56 TD in the showroom, lots of other interesting cars with emphasis on American muscle and classic cars and trucks from the 1950s and 1960s. The company opened up shop in Newberg in 2014 and has other showrooms in Utah and Minnesota.
And yes, there is Triumph content: a ’76 TR6 w/ 54,721 miles in Utah. Other LBCs include a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 and 1979 MGB (also in UT), plus several Jaguars.
