...pace from his 82nd, a $14,000 Lincoln Continental. But 100 m.p.h. can be hard on the heart, and an April cardiac seizure made Peter feel like a very old man, so the wheel has come full cycle, and it's back to puberty down an English country lane for the convalescent comedian and his bride Britt Eklund...

FORD. Instead of a Ford in your future, you can put one in your past-on the Magic Skyway, a superb bit of showmanship. In a Ford, you will scoot around Disney dinosaurs, watch a two-story Tyrannosaurus rex getting the best of a tough old Stegosaurus, and pop in on a happy household of hairy Homo sapiens...
