Yep, that’s when we had to “drive the car” …… single piston master brake cylinder; bias ply tires; 6-volt headlights; lousy shocks; 85 HP (on a cool night) and no power steering or brakes.
NO NANNIES …… just driving skill ……

Hey, I wrote almost that exact rant in another thread! Plagiarist. Oh wait we drove the same sort of cars that is all. Nevermind.
The vacuum wipers did make up for stopping by going like hell as soon as you took you foot off the gas. That is until they flung off into the netherworld. Looked funny lurching down the road to keep the wipers going.
