Күн бұрынDon Schmidt retraces the early motoring history of the Donner Pass region on old Highway 40, in a 1929 Model A. This video was the last roadtrip for the Model A which is now a part of the permanent exhibit at the new Donner State Memorial Park Visitor Center. The Grand Opening of the Visitor Center is scheduled for 11 AM on June 6, 2015.

Lord Willing, I’m gonna drive U.S. 40 across N. California. It won’t be in a Model A ( Dad sold the one he drove to High school back in 88) so will have to drive it in my Chevy PU. Every time I get out my Atlas, my wife rolls her eyes and asks where I’m going this time. time for a new one, the old one is wore out……. LOL ! Thanks for a quick trip and the history lesson

Have you figured out EXACTLY where he stopped? I'm trying to Google Map it right now. I think this might be close: goo.gl/maps/SJuYbTqnJ27st32J6

didn't they install the freeway for the 1960 Winter Olympics at Lake Tahoe? I thought I read or heard long time ago if there was no freeway, there would be no Olympics.

The pass and lake should be named after a Indian Chief who took great care of the Mountains❤️🙏🏼

I always thought that the Sierras were incredibly beautiful. Then I went to the Italian Dolomites. The Sierras seem like a boring set of hills in comparison.

Who cares. Nobody was talking about the "italian Dolomites."...keep it! Enjoy, Kurt in Santa Rosa, ca.
