It's from this:
R2-D2: Beneath the Dome a 2001 American mockumentary short, directed by Don Bies and Spencer Susser, starring Kenny Baker as R2-D2 in a fictionalized life story of the robot from the Star Wars film series. The film, which was made as a fun project by the cast and crew of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, features celebrity interviews, fake archive photos, film clips, and behind the scenes footage.
And yes, that is actually Candy Clark in the photo.

It's one of the cars that Kenneth Anger featured in his short-yet-mysterious 1965 film “Kustom Kar Kommandos”.
Very Cool!

This the '27 Model T coupe that Kenneth Anger featured in his short-yet-mysterious &#8220;Kustom Kar Kommandos&#8221; posted above.
The T was built by a college kid from Rialto California by the memorable name of Dick Dittmer and it&#8217;s got some features that make it unique. Beyond the chrome-dipped interior and myterious-ladyparts-inspired seats that Anger used to great advantage in the cinematic effects in the film, the odd bobbed fenders and chromed radiator shell make the car unforgettable, too.

 

Oh Happy Days!

Moving Day, especially for first-year students, is typically an exciting and tiring time. Automobiles soon replaced the train as the most popular way of getting to campus, but once you got here the basic tasks remained the same: moving possessions to your room, saying goodbye to your family, meeting new roomates, and adjusting to life on the Radford campus.
