It'll fly off a catapult on an aircraft carrier, but according to my
father, so will an old Chevy...




If you lack a decent rudder on a 1964 Biscayne, I understand you can use
the doors in slow flight for some yaw control.

"64 Biscayne. Are you declaring an emergency at this time?"
"Yes."
"But you haven't [been] launched yet."
"Well thank goodness because we're having problems with our wipers."


Considering the one my father told about was done during WWII, it was
probably a 1930's Chevy but I'm sure the rest would apply... Maybe we
could get zoom to try it in an AMC Pacer...
