I thought Florida was flat

First pic shows the Golf against a building with a sign that reads Hilltop Motors. Are there hills in Jacksonville?

Picture #2 shows a little powdered blue split window Kafer parked down the hill (you have to look fast). Why is there a Calif. black plated mid 60's beetle featured in the pictures? I don't get that..

It can be hilly in some areas of north Florida. Tampa is flat as a pancake and full of names that refer to imaginary hills. LOL

There are some "hilly" areas in jacksonville. No where near mountains or even foothills, but enough to get up to 45-50 just coasting in your car. I used to go skate them fairly frequently. I have no idea where that car dealership is, though.

well it all depends on what you are used to.

in a really flat place a little hill will be called a mountain.

now about anywhere those pictured hills would be called large, imho.
