My sister had a beautiful 1970 skylark in HS and drove a carload of friends to an amusement park in NJ around 1980, at some point the parking break was set (probably gas fill up)and she drove until they smelled burning breaks and rubber, well they pulled over and saw the tires smoking like crazy, then catch fire, old bias plies, and they could do nothing, they were in the pine barrens of NJ, little traffic then. They all watched the entire car engulfed in flames. Firemen where able to extinguish before it blew up.
