MP3 of the Day

Cross-country trips were no longer considered big news in the late 1920's, but on this day in 1930 Charles Creighton and James Hargis' journey managed to make headlines. The two men from Maplewood, New Jersey, arrived in New York City having completed their 42-day round trip to Los Angeles (7,180 miles) - driving their 1929 Ford Model A entirely in reverse gear. Somehow, Car Trouble by ALL GIRL SUMMER FUN BAND seems like an appropriate MP3 to post today.
