@freddyfromutah 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT convertible. My grandmother bought it (new) the week I was born - 66 model, sold in mid 65 - drove it for ~10 years - and then saved it away. Gave to me on my 16th birthday.
I got a late start; arriving at Needles lodge just before 9am today. Lodge locked up, gondola not moving. Thwarted my plans to have a casual breakfast up top. I learned why (wind hold) when I got back to the bottom. Lots of bummed out skiers. Yes, the climb was a bit windy.
