I`m about 300 miles North of Portland, so I won`t be in the area,but I can make a few suggestions for your trip. All American Classics is a old car wrecking yard,in Vancouver Washington, which is just across the bridge from Portland. When I was there in late 2017, they had over 20 57-59 Ford cars in the yard.
A few miles South of Portland, is the World of Speed Motorsport Museum in Wilsonville Oregon, just beside the I5. Very cool auto and Motorsport museum.
If you are into aircraft, the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville Oregon is very interesting and large. They have the Howard Hughes H4 Hercules "Spruce Goose"on display inside, and it is massive.
Too bad that you are going so early in the year, you will be close to 2 major Dragstrips (Portland Int`l Raceway, and Woodburn Dragstrip, which is about 30 miles South).Plus the famous Portland Swap Meet is the largest Swap Meet in the Northwest. Hope you enjoy your trip.

...And if you were to stay 1 more week,  there is the NorthWest Drag Racers Association High Performance Swap Meet just North, in Ridgefield Wa.

I'm going for work, so that dictates the dates.  I have been to Woodburn before on another work trip, its a nice track.. I went on a Hot Rod Reunion weekend and there were a lot of coo cars there, sadly, though it was rained out.  Did get to see some cool stuff though.  The next trip there should come in July so may be able to go catch a little racing.  Thanks for the heads up on the wrecking yard, I'm always looking for places like that to check out.  Was finally able to get to go to Turners in Fresno a little while ago, that place is massive.

Hi Everyone up in Portland:

Not long ago James stopped by Southern California and he was able to come over and meet with me and Rick.  We didn't have much time to shoot the breeze, but had a good time. We met at Rick's house and I drove over in my 57.  No it wasn't a long drive, Rick and I live about 1320 feet apart, but not in a straight line.  So if you can arrange it, get in your 57's and meet up with him.
