Another random thought or two, starting with California aviation
history: For many years, the FBO at Santa Ynez had '58 Chevy
Biscaynes as their rental fleet. Maybe they bought them from a
Tijuana taxi company. I seem to recall that they went for $8/day in
1970. Gas was thirty cents a gallon.

They still have one of them, but not for rent any more. I suspect that
they were bought in a Government Surplus auction at Vandenberg AFB.
