Why hasn't anyone done this with their Tbird? From the movie "Murderers Row" a Matt Helm movie with Dean Martin (sort of a Bond similar role)

Just putting an LED message board in the place of the tail lights, clever!

Watching Paul Newman start and drive a 1914 Puegot at Indy? Awesome!

If you have Netflix you can do it instantly, or you can catch various clips on You Tube. Stick with the ones loaded by wintershollywood, they have the original audio ...

Once upon a Wheel, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413072/ a cool movie that Paul narrated, and got greasy wrenching on a 71 Super Bee, and takes a look at a lot of racing stars, the Unsers, Andrettis, Pettys, and so on. A lot of 1970 NASCAR footage, but also dragsters, snowmobiles and more.

Clips from early 1910 races, land speed racing on the sand and slat, Pikes Peak, Indy, and so on are amazing to watch while Paul talks you through the scenes.

Getting a moment on screen are such obscure and cool vehicles as Buckminster's Dymaxion, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/07/favorite-sculptor-of-mine-was-first-to.html and the Marmon Herrington Rhino: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/marmon-harrington-4-wheel-drive.html

The biggest wagon I've ever seen! Might only have been a movie prop, because they blew it to smithereens

Three axles... I've never seen one with 3 axles. This was in the movie "Duck You Sucker" with James Coburn

Above Buster Keaton enacts a common concept that a Model T had to be put down like a horse when it's useful life was over, because like a horse, it was all give and no take, all heart.
