Fedora's Vintage Automobile

Fedora whistles sharply to summon this rugged vintage automobile, which a gang member—likely Rough Rider, Halfbreed, or Roscoe—drives at high speed along the cliffs. It carries the Man in the Panama Hat, whose olive-skinned hand grips the side. The car roars with screeching tires beside the vintage truck, closing in on Indiana Jones as he spurs his horse to escape. Its presence turns a foot chase into a mechanized pursuit, engines thundering against thundering hooves.
