Motion Pictures 1948 Dry Lakes Footage.

Last week I got a surprise parcel in the mail, Curt Giovanine had sent me a Cd with video. I played it and was totally blown away with the content. Curt had sat down with his dad Bob, sister, and brother-in-law in '96 with video camera recording an old 8mm home movie of the '25 roadster in '48. Curt said I could post this, so enjoy.
Cheers
Jimmy


:edit: These I got these on another dvd after the original post, Bob explains hopping up his Chev 4

 

I love that car, thanks for posting

 

Jimmy, you are so incredible at finding these historic gems for us all, thanks for sharing them with us. Thank Curt from us all.

 

very cool

 

Jimmy, that's just an unbelievable piece of history. It leads me to think that there must be more film than those few seconds.
Thanks for posting.

 

That was neat! Thanks for sharing.

 

very very cool.

 

awesome. thanks for that.

 

That's part of our roots fellas. Thanks for posting.

 

No worries, glad everyone liked it.

 

Wow, great footage - love the car at 35 seconds in.

 

That is amazing!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a million for sharing that!!! I have a real thing for that little roadster that you're building (a real work of art by the way)...I'll bet it was a real treat to see "it" running!!! PRICELESS!!!

 

Jamie, you must be as pleased a punch to get that footage.

Its funny on my recent trip to the US, I finally got to meet me Inliners hero - so I kind of know what you are experiencing just now.

 

Mark, ever since I first saw the roadster I've imagined how it looked like in colour and moving across the dry lakes. Getting that footage off Curt and watching it over & over and over is better than I ever could of imagined. Even though Bob, Chuck, Rufi & Duke are all passed now this is the closes thing to meeting them. I'm planning a trip to the US next year so I will hopefully meet Curt and thank him for sharing his dads photos, footage and info, as it has been invaluable in my build up.
Cheers

 

That is Very KOOL!

 

thanks for posting..enjoyed watching that

 

Thanx 4 taking me back to what that time was like. That was very cool! My dad was 18 then, wish I could've been hanging with him and his buds going to the lakes.

 

That's Awesome!!! Pictures of that car are cool, But a color movie with narration by Bob himself is off the chart! Also, I didnt expect Bob Rufi's name to be pronounced like that.

 

awesome post, great to know theres more great footage like that still around

 

I have just added a still image from the footage.

 

Thanks Jimmy...way cool stuff.....wish it was an hour long.........you should film your car in a similar fashion when it's done....
