If I start talking like this, people will probably look at me real strange, daddio.

I believe Lead Sled would only be used for full sized automobiles (e.g. C-Body Chryslers like the Newport, 300 and New Yorker, Caddilac Fleetwood, Lincoln Continental).

A VW Beetle, MG, Sunbeam Tiger, Corvette, Corvair, Mustng, Comet or Valiant would never be called a LEad Sled.

I just don’t understand how those people communicated back then. Oh, well, TTFN, GTG!

Don't just talk it, like preach it, man!

Tell them about Daddio, Laddio and The Spook!

For me, the term “Lead Sled” usually conjures up images of an early-’50s Mercury.

I think, all of them. Look where it got him. He ended up stranded on a desert isle with an old guy who called him “Little Butty”...
