In Spring 1967, I came west on Route 66 -- from mid- Illinois to LA -- with my Mom and Dad in a '58 Jaguar MkVIII. It had a small trunk [boot] so we had a pile of stuff on a rack on the roof -- safari style. The Jag had weird brakes, my Dad had to use gear-braking a lot. I didn't have a license yet. Fun times.
