Audible alarm .

I think it was a 1950 Dodge, later a 58 Plymouth Custom Suburban that we rode across the country and saw Alcatraz when it was still opened and went to Disneyland when it had just been opened a short time. Route 66 with the Burma Shave signs.

Hahaha! Got my fingers crunched in my Dad's 1972 Vista Cruiser once when I was 5. Your first car/Disneyland memory is maybe a little like this very well-made 1950s home-made documentary about winning a contest for a trip to Disneyland. Enjoy! Movie link: DISNEYLAND DREAM.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
