Cool video, HRP. The push vehicles were the best part for me. Too bad it didn't have sound as that would have been extra-cool.
Don,,I just did the old budon,budon sounds,and of course required 4 speed gear change sounds.....Waaah..chirp....waaah.....chirp....waaah...waaaaa.. HRP
RichFox....My favorite make believe sounds are 4 speeds,but if you prefer 3 speeds that's OK by me,,I'm sure it's optional! HRP
My earliest Bonneville car was a 32 five window with a 270 GMC. Had a 2 speed as did lots of cars in the early days. Maybe if you were running an MG or some such when the video was made, it would have had a 4 speed. Not behind a flathead or Gimmy
Rich Fox, I've been meaning to ask you for a bit. In the mid fifties there was a bright orange '40 standard coupe at Bonneville that Joe Barnett wrote about being involved with, and I have seen pictures of it in the backgrounds of several other shots. One of the owners was named Fox, any relation to you or your family?
I have this on the windshield of my 26 T and love all these clips (and pics) from the 50s, I would love to see my car there somewhere. Thanks Danny for posting. JW
