That'd be the Comet, FWIW.

The girl I rode to school with was pulling out of our street and the car stalled just as we pulled into the northbound lane. I was sitting behind her and looked to the left to see a big Caddy crest the hill doing a good ten over the 35 mph limit. He went into a full four wheel lock and just as I thought I was dead, Kath got the car started.  The marks on US 27 were there until they repaved it years later.

US27 is Nicholasville Road and Limestone Street in Lexington. My freshman dorm was on Limestone. But I cursed the traffic on that stretch of the road. I hope US27 is a more pleasant road up your way
