Lindberg intersperses lively descriptions of her father's 6'2" frame folding itself into a Volkswagon Beetle for a quick road-side nap with tales of sleek Pullman trains and Ford Ranch Wagons. Lindbergh writes that her father "may have chosen it [the Ford] more in an attempt to camouflage and conceal his family from the world, a vehicle that mixed family travel with protection, part covered wagon and part battleship."
