Auto industry critics need to cruise
That may not be the case today, given that they are chauffeured around the world in the biggest SUVs and private planes, but I bet it mattered back in the day.
Imagining the past
Though I have no independent knowledge of what the Planet Protectors actually drove, the steady stream of classic cars cruising past my neighborhood the last month inspires me to venture a guess.
• Pelosi: Sure, it's too easy to choose a VW Beetle as the car of choice for the nation's first woman Speaker of the House from San Francisco, but what else?
I imagine it was a sun-drenched yellow Bug that was dressed up and clean.
• Schwarzenegger: The poster boy for Hummer and former Mr. Olympia likely was livin' large in a land cruiser not long after finding his way to the United States in the late 1960s. Picture a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado with a 500-cubic inch V-8 engine pulling 300-plus horsepower. The only small cars he likely was paying any attention to back then were the ones he used to dead lift for weight training.
• Gore: And then there's The Goracle. The High Priest of the Church of Global Warming. You get the picture. Anyway, this one is easy. A 1970 Plymouth Barracuda complete with a 426 Hemi engine. Carbon credits be damned.
Perhaps they drove econoboxes and my guesses are all wrong, but I bet they have distinct memories of classic cars, nonetheless.
Though they won't be here for the Woodward Dream Cruise, they ought to consider stopping by someday if they're at all interested in knowing the people and the products that made America great.
