We were planning a trip to Cali this summer with the entire family (wife and three adolescents). Long story, but it now looks like only the two boys and I will be able to go. With all five, we'd have taken the (boring) Honda Odyssey, but with just the three of us, it will definitely be one of the Hawks.
Plan is to take the southern route going out, and the northern coming back. Will visit family & friends in Oceanside, Los Angeles, Monterey and 29 Palms. The boys have never been out west, so we'll also do as much sightseeing as time permits, i.e. Grand Canyon and Yellow Stone.
I hate to drive anything red or blue around LA (due to bloods & crips), but will probably take the red & white 62 GT or blue & white 56J. The 56J's rear seat is not as comfortable as a GT, but may swap a GT rear seat in for the trip. The best part (and I consider myself extremely lucky) is that either of the cars are up to the trip, and I've made the same trip several times in them over the years. The black & white GT, with 700R, would be a candidate, but I'd have to talk the wife into letting me borrow it
Plan is to leave on June 6th, and be back by the 18th. My 13 year old is the shutterbug of the family, and will make sure he takes lots of pix, with the Stude in the background, to post here
