1964-71: Triumph Herald 1200 convertible with oversize Armstrong "Norseman"
snows on the back (gave the car a kind of "rake" like the hopped-up '57 Chevies
so popular then). That Herald was amazingly good in snow as well, although one
25" snowfall did pretty much stop it. Next day it took us two hours to dig the
car out from where we'd had to abandon it at the end of the road to our house.
