In 1979 I drove my uncle's car from Chicago to Miami at Christmas time. I drove to Nashville where it got down below freezing overnight. The car was a 1974 Ford Elite...kinda like the Starsky and Hutch car but powder blue with a blue vinyl top and those big, big 1970's bumpers.
I stopped for lunch the next day on the Florida Turnpike where it was 75F. When I returned to the car there were a bunch of kids having a snowball fight with the snow from the car's bumpers. Too bad we didn't have cellphone cameras back then. (or cellphones for that matter)
