In my youth, I went to Ohio for a years training with NCR. New 1964 Impala

SS and was getting what I thought was snow in Missouri. Was sleet, and by

the time I reached St. Louis, there was a 1/4 inch of ice under 6 inches of

snow. Was scary. Could not believe how many cars stuck in the center

divider ditch. I kept to about 25 mph and still spun out twice. Once on an

ice bridge when the wheels started to spin and I slowed down and engine

died as I did not put in the clutch. And once ran off the road, as I lost

where the edge was.

All on boas ply tires too! A modern set of radials would have helped a lot. But that was then-and this is now...
