I love the video. Here is a car the dog could catch.

 

That's cool, Wonder where that model is now?

 

Tremulis "drove" the model across Oakwood Blvd but its batteries were running low, probably about as fast as in this video. Unfortunately, it was right in front of one of the Ford br***, maybe McNamara, and slowed him down at the entrance. Shortly after that episode the model was ordered over to the Lincoln studio where parts of it were modified, like the fins, and ended up in at least the 1959 models.

Great video!

 

Thanks for the info! Good luck with your work.
