you'll know how fast you were going if your chute doesn't open in time.

I've owned cars where if you closed your eyes you would have a pretty good idea of what your speed was. A '37 Plymouth sedan I drove in the early '50s, with a missing right front door window and no floor mats, comes immediately to mind. (For you youngsters, all cars of that era came with real rubber floor mats that lasted about 10,000 miles.)

Yeah Bill, my '38 Chevy coupe the same. Battery under the floor covering on passenger side, hand choke, starter button on the floor next to the gas pedal, got good at combining the start with give 'er a little gas. Trunk big enough to carry railroad ties. I miss that one more than all the rest of other the cars I owned.
