What I didn't see was 5 spare tires, 20 gallons of water and 600 lbs of "extras" just in case, etc. And, this was 80 years ago! Ya think some of us go overboard when we go to Baja??
I do like the suicide doors on the car.

Most excellent!! Really worth watching.

Bullfighting is such BS. That part was hard to look at.

Yeah, but your average Joe wasn't doing it very much like we are in Baja today.

Also, you have wonder what the hell they would do if they had a couple flats and broken parts. Not seeing too many other autos.
