All I want to do is send a De Ville hurtling down a highway embankment in Arizona in 1959, and have it end up on a lower road.

What highway would it be?
Would there be embankments?
Would there be a curb?
Would there be a frontage road?
Were any parts of desert highways elevated then?
If not, a bridge might do. Were there any bridges near where I'm setting my action?
How am I supposed to find out, seeing as there are no maps anymore?
Found some video taken from the highway, looking down a mountain. Can't see how steep it is or how far the plummet.
Once down on the lower road, what would be appropriate for the place and period in the rearview?
What law enforcement agency would be likely to mind? Arizona Highway Patrol or County Sheriff?
Does it have to be 1959? I've gotten maybe 12 words written tonight.

I didn't write four books about musicians and artists in modern-day Venice, California because I liked research.

On the bright side, I just heard a string quartet on Iridian Radio kick ass more completely than most rock bands. I tracked down the CD and ordered it. If the rest of ETHEL is as good as HARDWOOD, the cut I heard, I'll post about it when it comes.
