Chihuahua Express, the 1951 Chrysler New Yorker & the 1950 Oldsmobile 88

I'm hoping to catch a ride in this year's Chihuahua Express, a Mexican road race open to pretty much any class of car. The route is Chihuahua City to the Copper Canyon, in the Sierra Madre. The New Yorker was a father/son project--have a look at the video on Petrolicious.  The Olds 88 has also been a Chihuahua Express competitor.
