Left this morning towards Reno NV. Checked out a museum there before heading to Carson city.
Some museum shots
Will look at the car in the morning.
Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Don't see any of this in Northern Ontario Canada.

JEEZUS. How many miles IS that?, driving?
1100 one way. Car looks nice in the pics, hope it is when I put some eyes on it.
Dude! you are committed! Good luck! the road can be draining. Living it! I have gone out of my way to look at cars and when they didnt live up to expectation, I always tried to have a couple in the area or on route to check as well. Sometimes it pans out.
Lots of scrub brush in Nevada, most of it was incredible to see.
I was an truck driver for 36 years before I was retired. 3.5 million accident free miles.
Looking at the road trip pics makes me want to get back out to that area again ! I love the lot of nothing ! and the mountains !
It looks to me like you spent some time on US 50. Called the loneliest hwy in USA.
Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. Kim
Great pics, I did 2,000 miles in two days last year to buy a car.

Nothing like the chase.
I have to get the best price. Remind myself to shut up let the owner speak 
, have him start the negotiation of lowering the price. I feel like it's a boxing match, and I'm a counter puncher. Win some, lose some, but if I lose, I look at it as a nice drive and I still love driving. Go get it.

I would love to fly out and drive home. I did that with a tool truck. Flew from NE Iowa to Dallas, Picked out a truck and drove it home. It was an adventure.
Car was better then described so after many C notes it’s mine. 32 Desoto, 360, 727 8 3/4

Great scenery on the way back after some snow
Saw a sign for free range Lamborghini’s
Made it to Salina UT, before I called it enough for the day.

I have a bunch of pictures from crossing Nevada, they look just like yours. Whole lot of nothing out there, and miles and miles of long straight roads. We did the Denver area, to Reno, drive a few times while checking out and moving to our new place in southern Oregon. I-80 to Reno, then 395 North to Lakeview Oregon, Or turn off I80 at Winnamucca, then northwest on 140. You're more committed than I am, no way I'd make that drive to look at a car. Contrats on the Desoto, looks nice.
Congrats Dave! Classy looking ride!
I also visited the Harrah's Auto Collection in Reno before Holiday Inn bought Harrah's and sold off lots of the cars. But Big Daddy Ed Roth's Beatnik Bandit really wowed me. I had a model of it back in the 60s.
