Ha.... I have a family member who had an Olds 88, not sure of the year but ‘61 or ‘62 rings a bell. Anyway, his girlfriend from New York was visiting in the wintertime and she somehow managed to spin out of control going down a hill just before a bridge. The roofline on that particular model essentially created a ledge and the rear window went underneath the ledge. As she hit the framework of the bridge going backwards, one of the horizontal pipes of the bridge managed to pop out the back window and slide neatly under this roof ledge... and there she was. She must have been about 75 feet above a river, the back wheels were well over the edge and the only thing stopping her from going right over was this bent out pipe that had caught the lip of the roofline. Surprisingly enough, it didn’t take that much to get the car back to good shape again.
