I was a Scout a lifetime ago and helped clean up a Campfire camp a couple weekends ago. I never went through a tornado at camp but did go through some severe thunderstorms that by luck didn't cause a flash flood.

Like being in a time warp from the 50's these cars were produced with various engines from GM, Ford and hung around forever despite poor gas mileage. Eventually the equipment making the body wore out and the Checker Taxi Company quit producing new Checkers.
