...midnight, the hunters had bagged two house cats, one hoot owl, a large bullfrog and a parked 1949 Buick sedan (someone saw the tail lights through the brush, thought they were a fox's eyes), but nary a fox.

Before dawn one day last week, a caravan of 31 shiny new cars rolled out of Los Angeles, heading east. Each car was a standard 1950 model; every major U.S. make except Buick and Pontiac was represented. The cars had been tuned to perfection (but'not souped up), for a grueling two-day, 750-mile test to see which car got the most mileage and efficiency from its fuel...
