Arriving right on schedule, Willy's Overland ...

... drives past the Blue Bird toward the parking lots.

The parade of vintage automobiles ...

... continued for over 20 minutes as they turned from State Route 24 ...

... onto Jeffers Road to board the Train.

Over 268 collectors and their families and friends packed the coaches ...

... for the 45 minute round trip ride across Lucas County.

After the ride, the car collectors depart for Grand Rapids, OH ...

... while the Blue Bird positions for a photo run by for Fox 36 TV news.

In Grand Rapids, they stop by Rita's Dairy Bar and Deli ...

... to cool off with some delicious ice cream treats.

Rita catered the lunches they ate while they road the Blue Bird.

Even Willy's seem to run on unleaded fuel nowadays.
