Help with a ~3 week trip to the USA/

Hi all,
I’m planning a ~3 week trip to the United States in August/September this year and I have a few questions about a very rough itinerary.
The current plan is to fly from Sydney to JFK, after a few days make my way down to Washington DC and spend a few days there. It get’s a bit sketchy here, but possibly some natural scenery in the centre and then fly up to Seattle. Here I’m keen to visit the Boeing factory and the flight museum. Then travelling down (either fly or drive) to LA and San Franscisco where I spend a few days.

I’m mostly interested in significant political and historical places (Empire state building, white house, hoover dam…etc) as well as some of the natural beauty of the country. I’m also keen on hiring a Mustang and doing a few-day cruise somewhere, although I’m not sure where. Possibly the Seattle-LA leg?

So in summary, my questions are:
1) Where would be a good place to do a ‘cruise’ in a Mustang? Would the Seattle-LA leg be a nice drive?
2) What should I visit between Washington and Seattle?

Many thanks!
