Todd,

I also have a vague memory of at least one of my old man's cars having fender
skirts.  No custom cruiser skirts but factory items.  Once those things got
sealed in slush, they added a whole new dimension to the art of chain
installation.  And back then we had REAL slush because cinders were used on the roads
instead of salt.  Yeah, the good old days.
