Day 2 Thursday we were up early for a day at Cedar Point amusement
park. We spent the day sampling rides and watching coasters that were a little too thrilling for us. Besides, we rationalized, none could compare to riding in the Vista Cruiser.
Day 3 Friday started early, with de- parture from Sandusky, Ohio, for the
trip east. Once again, Vera ran fault- lessly. A second day without phones or iPods started to bring out sisterly love, as comments from the back included such classics as “Claire, get your feet off me!” and “Eliza, be quiet.”
Our first stop was to visit Alline’s aunt and uncle near Cleveland. As we pulled up, a neighbor they’d never met dropped in for a closer look. A 40-year Ford employee, he’d always wanted an Oldsmobile. Soon, another neighbor joined us, buffing towel in hand, to admire the car.
Back on the road after lunch, we continued to count license plates and work on crossword puzzles. By Friday evening, we had spotted plates from 28 states and two Canadian provinces.
By the time we arrived in Mayville, New York, we were hungry, and the 1960s Redline Drive-In (red-
linedrivein.com) called out to us. After waiting for a parking spot, we berthed Vera the Vista Cruiser next to a classic pink Cadillac.
Day 4 We left for Niagara Falls early. The short drive was uneventful as both
girls slept. Everything was great, until the glove compartment lock dropped off and the door popped open, leav- ing the courtesy light perpetually on. Duct tape and twine solved the issue — our first of the trip.
Crossing the Rainbow Bridge into Canada was a breeze; the border agent was fascinated with the Vista Cruiser and spent more time check- ing out the car than our passports!
