Remember like yesterday a trip from Ontario to Newfoundland (over2000miles) in about 1970. We took the old Mustang which only had about 20% of the floor left and an exhaust system consisting of soup cans and coat hangers..
Dad's instructions to my two sisters and I were "keep your feet up" and "don't fall asleep"!
