Odis Tyler and
Dalton Coleman met in 1969 while both guys were working the night shift at the
Hot Spring Sentinel Record. After spending
time drinking coffee in the break room, they realized they had a common
interest in vintage cars, race cars and Harleys! They quickly became pals and formed a lasting
friendship.
He had been
divorced for 3 and ½ years and had a “single guy lifestyle” of fun and games
with his friend Dalton! It may appear
that I snatched him away from an unexciting doldrums life of ‘poor little
single guy’ but let me tell you, he was having the time of his life with his
friend traveling all over the place! I had
to do a Calgon ‘take him away’ moment!
Before the
construction of the Interstate Highway System, Route 66 was the main
transportation route west. In the early
‘60’s a television show, “Route 66” followed two young men traversing the
United States in a Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with the events and
consequences surrounding their journeys.
The show starred a blonde guy (Martin Milner) and a dark haired guy
(George Maharis).
Odis was a single
dad. Dalton was a single guy. Odis spent Friday nights with his boys and on
Saturday nights he had a boy’s night out with Dalton.
Just two single
guys, Odis, with dark hair and Dalton, with blonde hair, living their own Route
66 story! The two young friends
plotted their own adventures in a classic red and white 1965 Stingray Corvette,
traveling coast to coast. Traveling and
being free agents became their way to enjoy life. They loved to travel, attend car shows and
ride Harley’s. Their travels included Old Mexico, Las Vegas and many other
interesting places. Unlike the TV show,
part of those experiences will probably not become a part of this story and the
secrets of them will go to their grave!
