    I am currently scanning some slides for a family and just ran across this gem. Pretty cool.

    Stopping distance demonstration?

    This photo reminded me of something I witnessed when I was a kid in elementary school. The local police (or maybe CHP) put on a safety demonstration on the school playground. It included a car getting up to maybe 45mph then slamming on the brakes, to show how long it takes a vehicle to stop. Skid marks were measured, like in the phoot. Did some other stuff too, but the details are lost in the haze...

    Mess? No, I don't think so. I'll take every one of those cars in the photo, and even the tow truck. Lots of convertibles and wagons too. Me like.
    Lets see...
    2 door hardtops or coupes:
    67 Chevelle
    68 Cougar
    66 LeMans
    66 GTO
    68 Chevelle
    65 Bonneville
    69 Camaro
    69?Corvette
    69 Mercury Cyclone
    66 Impala
    69 Cutlass
    67 Valiant

    Convertibles
    62 Skylark
    63 Lemans
    67 Lemans
    65-66 Mustang

    4 door sedan
    67 Belvedere

    wagons
    63 Country Squire
    68 Fury III Custom Suburban
    69 Country Squire

    Then theres the Ford tow truck and you can see the front fender of a 65 Skylark, but theres two cars I can't see enough of to identify.

    But, take away the gas station and it could look alot like Rev's driveway (or my own).
