Do not hit anyone or slow down and you will reach the drawbridge as it is going up. True "Blues Brothers" air time will follow. After landing, keep hauling -- turn left at the next street, go to the second street over, and turn left again. You should be able to hit another drawbridge just as it is coming up.

Go down it, and you will be in the secret car area. Note: If it does not work at first, enable the "Invincibility" cheat and try again.

To get the secret car easier, follow the previous directions, but instead of going underground and through the halls, just go around the underground opening. There will be a hole in the ground where you can fall through. If you do not hit the car off the platform, then you can just be raised back up to the surface.
