SAPULPA – Officials with the Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum are reminding the public they have less than two months to take part in the third-annual vintage car rides.
The vintage car rides take place every Saturday morning starting at the museum. Currently, guests can ride in a 1923 Packard and drive to Pretty Water Lake. A driver is provided and the car rides take place between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., weather permitting. The rides will run through the end of September.
Prices are $15 per person, which includes admission to the Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum, showcasing retro and historic cars. Popcorn is also available for everyone who visits the museum on Saturdays.
“We’ve been astounded by the response this year to the vintage car rides,” said Lina Holmes, executive director of the museum. “From young families to older couples to historic car lovers, the vintage rides offer something for everyone to experience.”
People can book rides now by calling the museum at (918) 216-1171.
