Sounds very different from 'yesteryear'. I remember my grandfather telling me about 3 different times in the 1960s when he and my grandmother made that drive in whatever Lincoln he had at the time. He said that on each end the car would be so dirty that he'd have to pay $10.00 to get the car washed. He told me the cost to illustrate how dirty the car would be before each wash. Ten dollars isn't that much for a car wash now, but 40+ to 50 years ago...wow. Not much in the grand scheme of things even then, but a tremendous amount for a car wash back then according to my grandfather (I was too little then to really know for myself).
