I can juxtapose this with a less impressive picture of a speeding Audi:

The expression "They don't make them like used to" comes to mind looking at this Cadillac Fleetwood. I'm guessing this car is nearly 20 feet long and it just two doors. I don't even want to think about the gas mileage of this behemoth.

Back in the ‘90s, my friend next door would have her grandma visit on occasion. Classic little old lady scenario. She drove a whale of an old Chevy, pale blue, mint condition. Well, except when she’d park half in the road, half in the grass, and the 6’ long driver door would swing down into the dirt. I can’t recall the model, but wow was that car a behemoth.

I remember my climb to get up to this spot several years ago very well. I have a fear of heights and the last leg to get there was "interesting." At least my heart rate reflected that!!

I agree, parts of that hike are challenging, but it's very rewarding once you turn that last corner and overlook the bowl with the arch in the distance!
From what you're saying about heights, I assume you didn't get your picture taken underneath the arch?

It’s a Nash Metropolitan 1953-1961
That car was being built in England by 'Austin' (Rootes Group)and was sold as the Austin Metropolitan. It isn't very big. I think it was designed in England and intended for the American market at around the time Americans were beginning to realise that their popular and enormous gas-guzzlers were neither safe nor sustainable.

It was a marvel at the time in England... it actually had a radio as standard equipment! Unheard of luxury :)
