IDAHO FALLS - Morgan Murphy took off in May, driving a 51-year old Cadillac Eldorado.

He's now been in 38 states as he promotes a new website called motorpool.com. It's for the 12-million classic car and truck enthusiasts who love old cars.

"Oh man, they just... this car in particular talks about American style and excess and can-do attitude. When this car was new, it came with four cigar lighters, six drinking tumblers, 345 horsepower, and no seat belts. It was a different era. People who love history or like history, love old cars," says Murphy.

Morgan loves his car so much that he's logging 12,500 miles, visiting 58 cities.
