Paul in Las Vegas tells the story that back in the late 1960s driving his 1956 Caribbean HT flat out from Indian Springs where he worked to his home in Las Vegas. There was nothing out there then, not even a single cop, but the road was excellent and mostly straight. The Carib would peg the speedo, but there was so much air under the front that the T-L would kick in to push the nose back down. This would occur two or thee times while approaching max speed. Exactly how fast? Who knows. He never got passed by any of his buddies driving new Oldsmobiles or Pontiacs.
