Check it our to see how many famous cars and venues you can spot. One youre sure to notice is the dragster of the legendary Bean Bandits near the end of the film (26 minutes). It was a great time, enjoy the film of days long gone. http://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/2014/02/05/video-the-cool-hot-rod-1953/
I love it too, even though these movies all seem to have the same story. Wonder how many were made like this.
I've heard stories how the Bean Bandits got their spark plugs,etc from the trash barrels at the race track, beating people with their own trash.
